Question 59862
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|
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,-1*abs(x))}}}
This is y=-|x|+3
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,-1*abs(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!!!
