It seems like there should be another answer as well since there are 2 numbers that are exactly 18 units from 0.  
What do you think?

false?

mertsj · Answer

I think so.

anonymous · Answer

$$|3x+12|=18$$
$$3x+12=\pm18$$
The equations splits off here in two parts, 3x+12=18 and 3x+12=-18
This means you MUST have two solutions unless you can eliminate one based on conditions (i.e.: the answer has to be positive)

They didn't give you conditions, so you have more than one answer.  False.  :-)

By the way, can you find what the other answer is for that equation?  ;-)
