whats the answer options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you have to know the absolute value make anythings inside the bars positive. So now you have 2|x+3| + 1 Now, multiply because you use the rules of operations. 2x + 3 + 1 Combine like terms. 2x + 4

I think its A @DW101796

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well now you set 2x+4 = 0 and 2x-4=0 because you're using absolute value. x=2 and x = -2. No solutions.
