irishboy123 · Answer

start with 

$−3|2x + 6| = −12$

$3|2x + 6| = 12$

loser66 · Answer

If you are not sure, just check one by one. Like this
if the answer is A) then $-3|2*1+6| ~~MUST ~= -12$
but the left hand side is -21 $\neq 12$, then A is not the answer. 
Do the same with b) and c)
If none of them is correct, then d) is the best choice.
NOTE: I don't say that d is the answer.

The solution is B. You make two separate equations with the absolute value bars and make one of the solutions negative. Next, solve for x in each equation. You get -1 & -5.
