B is the correct answer to the following questions and
|2x + 12| = 18
First, break down the problem into 2 equations . / 2x + 12 = 18 and -(2x + 12) = 18
Second, solve the first equation. /

Subtract 12 from both sides. /

Subtract 18 - 16. /

Divide both sides by 2. /

Simplify. /
Third, solve the second equation. / -(2x + 12) = 18
Simplify your brackets. /

Add 12 to both sides. /

Add 18 + 12. /

Divide both sides by -2. /

Simplify. /

Simplify. /
Fourth, collect the solutions. /

Answer:
x = -15, 3
If x = 3 is a solution, (x - 3) is a factor of f(x).
2x³ + x² - 25x + 12 ÷ (x - 3) [by long division] = 2x² + 7x - 4
so f(x) = (x - 3)(2x² + 7x - 4)
f(x) = (x - 3)(2x - 1)(x + 4)
so 'zeros', or more correctly solutions, are: x = 3, x = 1/2 and x = -4.
[by setting each of the factors equal to 0 and solving for x].
<h3>Just put the value of x and calculate it.</h3>
