−3|2x + 6| = −12

-1.5 would be the solution

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf -3|2x + 6| = -12\implies |2x + 6| =\cfrac{-12}{-3}\\ \quad \\ \implies |2x + 6| =4\implies \begin{cases} +(2x + 6) =4\\ \quad \\ \bf -(2x + 6) =4 \end{cases}\)

solve each scenario for "x"

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

−3|2x + 6| = −12 divide both sides by -3 −3|2x + 6| = −12 /-3 /-3 |2x + 6| = 4 Now to get ride of the absolute value signs make the 4 a negative. So now you have two equation. 2x + 6 = 4 & 2x + 6 = -4
