Question

Solve for x: −3|2x + 6| = −12

Answer 1

@KlOwNlOvE

Answer 2

divide by -3 2x+6=4
2x+6=-4 solve for x

Answer 3

subtract the 6 by 4 and -4 then divide by 2

Answer 4

I'm confused

Answer 5

okay so when I subtract 6 from four I get 2 and then I subtract -4 from 2?

Answer 6

you have to isolate x
first thing you do is isolate the absolute value which is 2x+6 so you divide -12 by -3 2 negatives make a positive now
2x+6=4
2x+6=-4

Answer 7

subtract 6 into 4= -2 now 2x=-2 divide 2 into -2

Answer 8

x = -5

Answer 9

-1

Answer 10

now subtract 6 into -4 2x=-10
divide -10 by 2

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

Okay when you replace the variable x and it equal [-4] inside those line it comes out as + 4 and times negative three = -12
