Answer 4

dont forget at the end you will have two answers

Answer 5

after i divide -3 on both sides i would get 4 as my answer then i would subtract 7 on both sides so my answer would be x= -3 then i would go and make 4 to -4 then subtract -4 on both sides and i would get x= -8

Answer 6

well here
-3|x + 7| = -12
-3lx + 7l/-3 = -12/-3
then you'll get two equations
x + 7 = 4 x + 7 = -4
x = -3 x = -11
