Question

given the function f(x)= -5|x+1| +3, for what values of x is f(x)=-12?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=2$  and $x=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)= -5|x+1| +3$

Given f(x)= -12

Replace f(x) by -12 and solve for x

$-12= -5|x+1| +3$

Subtract 3 on both sides

$-15= -5|x+1|$

Divide both sides by -5

$3= |x+1|$

Now make two equations

$x+1=3$  and $x+1=-3$

Subtract both sides of equation by 1

$x+1=3$  and $x+1=-3$

$x=2$  and $x=-4$
