Solve for X: - 3 |2x+6| = - 12

Hello there!

-3| 2x + 6| = - 12

2x + 6 = - 12/-3

2x + 6 = 4

Solve absolute value

We know that 2x + 6 = 4 or 2x + 6 = - 4

We have two possibilities to solve this.

1)

2x + 6 = 4

2x = 4 - 6

2x = - 2

Divide both sides by - 2

2x/-2 = - 2/-2

x = 1

2) 2x + 6 = - 4

2x = - 4 - 6

2x = - 10

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = - 10/2

x = - 5

Answer : X = - 1 or X = - 5

A + Guaranteed!
