-3|x+7|= -12
⇒ |x+7|= -12/(-3)
⇒ |x+7|= 4
⇒ x+7= 4 or x+7= -4
⇒ x= 4-7 or x= -4 -7
⇒ x= -3 or x= -11

Final answer: x= -3 or x= -11~

-3Ix + 7I = -12 (divide -3 from each side)

Ix + 7I = -12/3

Ix + 7I = -4

x + 7 = -4 or -x - 7 = -4

x = -11 or -x = 3
x = - 3

x = -3 or -11

Solve for x: −3|x + 7| = −12
