For this case we have to find the value of
h (x)when
x = -7, for this we must replace the value of
x = -7 in the given equation. We have:


h (x) = | 3x | - 1

Substituting
x = -7


h (-7) = | 3 (-7) | - 1

Considering what
+ * - = -


h (-7) = | -21 | -1

Taking into account that by definition;
| -a | = a


h (-7) = 21-1\\h (-7) = 20

So,
h (-7) = 20

Answer:

Option D

substitute -7 in for x

f(-7) = (3*-7) -1

= -21-1

= -22
