F(x) = |2x-1|-5
f(x) = |2*(x)-1|-5
f(-3) = |2*(-3)-1|-5 ... replace every x with -3
f(-3) = |-6-1|-5
f(-3) = |-7|-5
f(-3) = 7-5
f(-3) = 2 which is the final answer
Side Note: the vertical bars mean "absolute value" which represents distance. Negative distance makes no sense which is why absolute value results are never negative.
the whole triangle is call an acute equilibrium triangle if that's the answer your looking for if not I need to see the whole question
