Question

Solve for x: −2|x − 3| = −12

Answer 1

|x-3|=6

Answer 2

x=-3
x=9

Answer 3

You should first get the absolute value by itself....so divide both sides of the equation by -2

|x - 3| = 6

Now split this into 2 equations

x - 3 = 6
and
x - 3 = -6

And solve both equations for 'x'

Answer 4

you can start by dividing both sides by -2
what u get ?
