Question

Solve for x: -3|x + 7| = -12

Answer 1

x = -3

Answer 2

how did you get that?

Answer 3

−3(x+7)=−12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−3x−21=−12
Step 2: Add 21 to both sides.
−3x−21+21=−12+21
−3x=9
Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.
−3x
−3
=
9
−3
x=−3

Answer 4

x = 5 over 3 , x = − 19 over 3
x = −3, x = −11
x = −3, x = 11
No solution

these are the options so would it be the 2nd one?
