18

Answer 3

@Lizzyeb631
u will get
\[\left| 3x+12 \right| = 18\]
pls do write the full equation from now on

Answer 4

i got X=2 but how do i get a second answer do i plug it back in

Answer 5

look at the equation there is a modulus
when u remove the modulus sign from one side , "±" comes on the other side
for example
if \[\left| 7x + 16 \right| = 30\]
then 7x + 16 = ± 30
