PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE I WILL GIVE THANKS, 5 STARS, AND THE BRAINLIEST!!!

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = - 2x - 3, x ≤ 0    You would use this equation for finding p(0), since 0 is equal to 0.

p(x) = - 2x - 3, x ≤ 0  ← You can ignore the x≤0 part.

p(0) = - 2(0) - 3              Input the value 0 as x.

p(0) = 0 - 3                    Simplify

p(0) = -3    

Next,

p(x) = -x² - 4, x > 0        You would use this equation for finding p(1), since 1 is greater than 0.    

p(x) = -x² - 4, x > 0    ←  You can ignore the x>0 part.  

p(1) = -(1)² - 4             Input the value 1 as x. 1² is equal to 1 times negative is -1.

p(1) = -1 - 4                 Simplify

p(1) = -5

Then,

p(x) = - 2x - 3, x ≤ 0    You would use this equation for finding p(-2), since -2 is less than 0.

p(x) = - 2x - 3, x ≤ 0  ← You can ignore the x ≤ 0 part.

p(-2) = - 2(-2) - 3          Input the value -2 as x. A negative times a negative is

p(-2) = 4 - 3                  a positive.

p(-2) = 1                        Simplify

Finally, you have to fine the value of

           Input the values of p(0), p(1), and p(-2).

                     Simplify

-8

The answer is -8.

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8
