HELP PLEASE!

Misha found that the equation –|2x – 10| – 1 = 2 had two possible solutions: x = 3.5 and x = –6.5. Which explains whether or not her solutions are correct?

a. She is correct, because both solutions satisfy the equation.
b. She is not correct, because she made a sign error.
c. She is not correct, because there are no solutions.
d. She is not correct, because there is only one solution: x = 3.5.
