at f(1) ; 2f(-1)+3f(1) = -15---(a)
and at f(-1) ; 2(f1)+3f(-1)=-5---(b)
add a & b
we get
5f(1)+5f(-1) = -20
f(1)+f(-1) = -4
f(1)= -4-f(-1)
substitute value of f(1) in (a)
we get
2f(-1)-12-3f(-1)=-15
solve for f(-1) ; = + 3
Option D is correct
and at f(-1) ; 2(f1)+3f(-1)=-5---(b)

f(1)= -4-f(-1)

This is very good question based on function:
2f(x) + 3f(-x) = 5x − 10
Putting x=1, 2f(1) + 3f(-1) = 5*1-10 = -5... eq(1)
Putting x=-1, 2f(-1) + 3f(1) = 5*(-1) − 10 = -15... eq(2)
Multiply equation 1 with 3 and equation 2 with 2 and subtract
5*f(-1) = -5*3- (-15*2) = 15
f(-1) = 15/5 = 3
Kindly check the Answer options
