Question

−3|2x + 6| = −12

I just don't understand these questions

Answer 1

What don't you understand?

Answer 2

I am unsure how to solve it. I tried already and got most of the questions wrong.

Answer 3

I know the answer but I don't know the exact formula, it's weird with me how I just know the answers but I don't solve them like everybody else does.
I'll look up a formula and go over it.

Answer 4

I do that a lot too. The main part I don't understand is how there can be two answers.

Answer 5

There is a negative and a positive answer because everything in an absolute value sign has to come out to be equal, so let's say x is -1, we would do -1x2 = -2+6 = 4. and 4x-3 = -12

Answer 6

The first step is to divide both sides by -3.
Try that and show what you get.

Answer 7

Yea listen to this guy, I'm not good at explaining, just good at getting the answers lol

Answer 8

@MiaS The first step is to divide both sides by -3.

On the other side how do i divide that? Just remove the negative 4?
