If 5x + 15 ≥ 0, then |5x + 15| = 5x + 15. The equation reduces to

5x + 15 = 10x

15 = 5x

x = 3

If instead 5x + 15 < 0, then |5x + 15| = -(5x + 15), and the equation becomes

-5x - 15 = 10x

-15 = 15x

x = -1

If x = 3, then |5x + 15| = 30 and 10x = 30, so x = 3 is a valid solution.

If x = -1, then |5x + 15| = 10 while 10x = -10, so x = -1 is the extraneous solution.

Answer:

C. It would be shifted up.

Step-by-step explanation:

We base it off the y-intercept. Since -7 is <em>less</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>1, and our new function has a positive y-intercept, it would indeed be shifted up.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
