A. x=1, and x=5
B. x=-1, x=-5
C. x==9 and x=3
D. No solution

Answer 1

|2x + 6| =-9 ?

Answer 2

So so sorry I meant you had to divide by 3 from each side....

Answer 3

by -3 that is....

\(\huge{\frac{-3}{-3}|2x+6|=\frac{-12}{-3}}\)

What would that equal?

Answer 4

I will make it easier...
-3|2x + 6| = -12

Divide both sides by 3, It will be like this :
|2x + 6| = 4

You have 2 possibility answers:

i (2x + 6) = 4
ii -(2x + 6) = 4
