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

x = –2, x = –4

x = –2, x = 4

x = 2, x = –4

x = 2, x = 4

Option C is correct

For x = 2 ,  x = -4 is f(x) = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

We have to find for which values of x is f(x) = -12

Substitute  f(x) = -12

then;

Subtract 3 from both sides we get;

Divide both sides by -5 we get;

⇒ or

⇒ or

⇒ or

therefore, the values of x are:

x = 2 or x = -4
