Question

Solve |3x + 9| + 6 = 6 Question 5 options: A) x = 3 B) x = 3 or x = –3 C) No solutions D) x = –3

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

Subtracting 6 from both sides yields |3x + 9| = 0. For this to be true, 3x + 9 must be 0, and so x must be -3.

Answer 2

Hey there!

We have |3x + 9| + 6 = 6. Subtracting 6 from both sides gives us |3x + 9| = 0.

3x+9=0

3x=-9

x=-3

Hope this helps :)
