Answer:
Substitute the value of the variable into the equation and simplify.
−
26
-26
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation
[tex]-3|x|+2x-1[/tex]
We are told that x=-5, so let's substitute that value into the equation:
[tex]=-3|-5|+2x-1[/tex]
The absolute value sign [tex]|x|[/tex] means that any positive number will remain positive and any negative number will be changed to positive in these brackets
[tex]-3(5)+2(-5)-1[/tex]
Now, simplify
[tex]=-15-10-1[/tex]
And simplify again
[tex]\boxed{=-26}[/tex]
This is your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
