The correct answers are the x = 6 and x = 0.

In order to find this, we can follow the order of operations.

–4|–2x + 6| = –24

Divide by -4

|–2x + 6| = 6

Since it is now equal to a absolute value, we have to solve for the positive and negative versions of the final answer. Let's start with the positive.

-2x + 6 = 6

-2x = 0

x = 0

Now for the negative

-2x - 6 = -6

-2x = -12

x = 6

These would be your two answers.
