Johan found that the equation –2|8 – x| – 6 = –12 had two possible solutions: x = 5 and x = –11. Which explains whether his solutions are correct?

He is correct because both solutions satisfy the equation.
He is not correct because he made a sign error.
He is not correct because there are no solutions.
He is not correct because there is only one solution: x = 5.
