Question

Solve for x: −3|2x + 6| = −12

Answer 1

to do this, you'll want to get the absolute values by itself :)
so divide both sides by Negative 3
what would you get?

Answer 2

2x=6=4

Answer 3

−3|2x + 6| = −12
|2x + 6| = 4

2x + 6 = 4
Solve for x

2x + 6 = -(4)
Solve for x

Answer 4

yep :)
then |2x + 6| = 4 can be separated into
2x + 6 = 4 and 2x + 6 = -4

because when |a| = b
a = b and a = -b

Answer 5

x=5
x=-5

Answer 6

????????!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

−3|2x + 6| = −12

Divide both sides by negative 3

−3|2x + 6| = −12
/-3 /-3

|2x + 3| = 4

Ok so now you make a new equation and make the 4, -4

So, |2x + 3| = 4 & |2x + 3| = -4


Solve for x by subtracting both sides 3

Then dividing both sides by 2

Answer 8

close :) but not quite
2x + 6 = 4 subtract 6 from both sides
-6 -6
2x = -2 then divide both sides by 2

Answer 9

Oh that typo, subtract 6 not 3 >.<

Answer 10

x=-1
x=-5
