-26

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We are given the equation

$-3|x|+2x-1$

We are told that x=-5, so let's substitute that value into the equation:

$=-3|-5|+2x-1$

The absolute value sign $|x|$ means that any positive number will remain positive and any negative number will be changed to positive in these brackets

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

Now, simplify

$=-15-10-1$

And simplify again

$\boxed{=-26}$

This is your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
