Given the function f(x) = -5|x + 1| + 3, for what values of x is f(x) = -12?

x = 2 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5|x + 1| + 3 = -12

Add -3 to both sides.

-5|x + 1| = -15

Divide 5 into both sides.

|x+1| = 3

Possibility 1:

x + 1=3

x = 2

Possibility 2:

x + 1 = - 3

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is our absolute value equation for which we want the values of x that make it true:

-5 | x + 1 | + 3 = -12. Subtracting 3 from both sides gives us

-5 | x + 1 | = = -15. Divide both sides by -5 to get

| x + 1 | = 3

This says, in words, "how many units from 3 is -1 on a number line?"

We have the following 2 equations:

x + 1 = 3 and x + 1 = -3

Solving the first one for x:

x = 2

Solving the second one for x:

x = -4

Both 2 and -4 are 3 units from -1 on a number line.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
