Answer:

translated left 6 units

Explanation:

A function's graph is translated right by h units when x is replaced by (x-h) in the function definition.

Application

If you start with the function g(x) = |x|, and you replace x with (x -(-6)), then you have ...

f(x) = |x -(-6)| = |x +6| . . . . . . . . . . g(xt) translated -6 units to the right

The parent function is translated 6 units to the left.
