Answer 9

|4x+12|=16
we need to get rid of the absolute value sign
to do the we split the equation into 2
by (4x+12)=-16 and (4x+12)=16
we now solve each equations arriving at 2 solution

Answer 10

for x

Answer 11

correct ^^....nice explaining Lyn

Answer 12

Ok so my answer is c?

Answer 13

so 4x+12=-16
we take 12 frm both sides we get
4x+12-12=-16-12
4x=-28
divide both sides by 4 we get
x=-28/4
x=-7

now solve the other equation to get the other solution for x
4x+12=16
