I think it is C. x = -3, x = 11
OpenStudy (whovianchick):
Divide both sides by -3, then find x+7=4, and x+7=-4
X+7=4 x+7=-4
x+7-7=4-7 x+7-7=-4-7
x=-3 x=-11
B. x=-3, x=-11

Haha yes you can
−3|x + 7| = −12
−3|x + 7|/-3 = −12/-3
|x + 7| = 4
X+7=4 x+7=-4
x+7-7=4-7 x+7-7=-4-7
x=-3 x=-11
B. x=-3, x=-1
There's all the work
OpenStudy (whovianchick):
And, plug both the answers in. They work. Aaaaaaaalways plug the solutions in to check for extraneous solutions.

x=-3 or x=-11
