    The first step for absolute value equations is to isolate the expression contained within the absolute value bars:

    3|2x+4|-1 = 11

    3|2x+4| = 12

    |2x+4| = 4

    so |2x+4| is 4 units away from 0 on a number line, but we don't know in which direction - - negative or positive? you'll have two answers.

    2x+4 = 4

    AND

    2x+4 = - 4

    solve both of those two step equations and you'll get

    x = 0

    AND

    x = - 4

    so 0 and - 4 are your solutions.
