$f (- 6) = 1$ $f(-6)=1$

$substitute x = - 6 into f (x)$ $"substitute "x=-6" into "f(x)$

$f (- 6) = | - 6 | - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1$ $f(color(red)(-6))=|color(red)(-6)|-5=6-5=1$

$f (- 6) = 1$ $f(-6)=1$

$f (- 6)$ $f(-6)$ means that $x = - 6$ $x=-6$ . With this piece of information, we can plug this into our function to get

$f (- 6) = | - 6 | - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1$ $f(-6)=|-6|-5=6-5=1$

Hope this helps!
