State the vertex as an ordered pair. y = -|3x +5|+7

In plain and short, what value of "x" makes the expression |3x + 5| to 0?

well, we can check by simply setting it to 0 and solving for x.



notice, all you do is, get the x-value that makes the expression to 0, and then append the constant outside it as the y-value, and that's the vertex.
