Answer 2

first distribute the -3 into the absolute term:
\[\left| -6x-18 \right| = -12\]
so this means that either:
-6x-18 = -12
or
6x+18 = -12
can you solve for the x-values now?

Answer 3

I Got C Is That The Answer?

Answer 4

-6x = -12+18
-6x =6
x =-1
or
6x+18 = -12
6x =-12-18
6x=-30
x=-5
so x values should be
-1 and -5, so the second choice is correct

Answer 5

-6x-18=-12
-6x=-12+18
x=-6/6
=-1

Answer 6

therefore x=-1
