Answer:

Explanation:

The absolute value of a number is defined as the positive of either a positive or a negative number. By that I mean that

| 1 | = 1 and | -1 | = 1. Right?

We use that idea here. Either:

6x + 3 = 27 OR 6x + 3 = -27 and solve both equations.

6x = 24 so x = 4 OR

6x = -30 so x = -5

Choice D is the one you want.
