Answer: B

Explanation:

To find the values of x, we first need to write the function into an equation. We can derive 2 equations from the problem.

Equation 1: y=2|x+6|-4

Equation 2: y=6

Now, we can substitute.

2|x+6|-4=6

Let's solve for x.

2|x+6|-4=6 [add both sides by 4]

2|x+6|=10 [divide both sides by 2]

|x+6|=5 [subtract both sides by 6]

x=-1

Now that we know x=-1 is one of the solutions, we can eliminate C and D.

We know that the absolute value makes the number inside positive always. Therefore, let's solve for x with -5 instead.

|x+6|=-5 [subtract both sides by 6]

x=-11

Therefore, we know that B is the correct answer.
