Answer:

5f(- 12) = 115 , 2f(- 9) = - 40

Explanation:

given

f(x) = - x - 11

to evaluate f(- 12) , substitute x = - 12 into f(x)

f(- 12) = - 12 - 11 = - 23 , then

- 5f(- 12) = - 5 × - 23 = 115

similarly to evaluate f(- 9), substitute x = - 9 into f(x)

f(- 9) = - 9 - 11 = - 20 , then

2f(- 9) = 2 × - 20 = - 40
