Just subtract 16.5 to the x , in parenthesis, to the existing equation.

For example,
if u r given y= x +3 --> y=(x-16.5)+3

If you want to write an equation for an absolute value function this is the parent function y=a|x-h|+k.

In order to write an equation that is 16.5 units right you would do this:

y=|x-16.5|
If you are moving units left the number -16.5 would become 16.5

Remember when you are moving that the number inside is always the opposite sign of where you are moving

Here is the answer:
y=|x-16.5|
Hope This Helps!
