Solve for x: −3|2x + 6| = −12

x = 1 and x = 5

x = −1 and x = −5

x = −9 and x = 3

No solution

could someone explain to me how to do this so that i don't have to come back ?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

first divide both sides by -3

−3|2x + 6| = −12

[−3|2x + 6|]/(-3) = −12/(-3)

|2x+6| = 4

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Then break up  |2x+6| = 4 into 

2x+6 = 4   or  2x+6 = -4

solve each equation for x to get your two answers
