3|9+x|-16=20

you want to isolate the absolute values so first add 16 to both sides then divide both sides by 3 then separate the absolute value into two equations

just follow the instructions jiggly gave you. 3|9+x| - 16 = 20 +16 + 16 3|9+x| = 36 9 + x = 12 9 + x = - 12 are your two equations just solve for x.
