G (-5) = - 4*| (-5) - 1|

if you have the absolute value sign, and you solve for both equations, you should get 24 and - 24

is there one number that is correct, or is both the answer?

There is one answer, - 24.

While yes, absolute value does indicate both a positive and negative will work, for every x value there will be only one y value associated with it; if there were more, then it would not meet the criteria to be a function.
