When we translate a graph adding X units it will have a horizontal shift to the left.

But if we subtract X units, it'll have a horizontal shift to the right

So in this case, x-3 means we are doing a horizontal shift to the right.

Below is the graph of y=|x|.translate it to make it the graph of y=|x-3|-example-1
