Answer 1

-26

Explanation:

Hello There!

For this problem all we have to do is plug in -5 into x and calculate the value

so..

-3|-5|+2(-5)-1

so first things first | | means absolute value

The absolute values of -5 is 5 so the equation would be

-3(5) + 2(-5) - 1

-3*5=-15

2*-5=-10

-15-10=-25

-25-1=-26

so the answer would be -26
