If the absolute value equation is: y= -[x]+3, would i move go to the right or left??
y=-|x|+3 would be shifted up three units because the 3 is outside of the absolute value:
This is y=-|x|

This is y=-|x|+3

would it be the same for y=-[x+3]???
Because the +3 is on the inside of the absolute value it gets a horizontal shift 3 units left. Note that this is in the opposite direction that you might think it would go.
This is y=-|x+3|

Happy Calculating!!!
