<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large\boxed{x=3\,\,\text{or}\,\,x=-15}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're solving the equation with the absolute value.

In this case, we would be solving for x.

The equation we are solving is:

3|x+6|-7=20

Lets solve:

3|x+6|-7=20\\\\\text{First, we add 7 to both sides}\\\\3|x+6|=27\\\\\text{We need to get the absolute value by itself, so}\\\text{we would divide both sides by 3}\\\\|x+6|=9\\\\\text{For absolute value, there could be two possiblities}\\\\x+6=9\,\,\text{or}\,\,x+6=-9\\\\\text{We would solve for both}\\\\x+6=9\\\\\text{Subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\x=3\\\\x+6=-9\\\\\text{Subtract both sides by 6}\\\\x=-15\\\\\boxed{x=3\,\,\text{or}\,\,x=-15}

Your answer would be x = 3 or x = -15

<h3>I hope this helped you out.</h3><h3>Good luck on your academics.</h3><h3>Have a fantastic day!</h3>

Solve the inequality.<br> 4│x + 5│ - 2 ≤ 10
castortr0y [4]

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this absolute value inequality,

our goal is to get the absolute value by itself on one side of the inequality.

So start by adding 2 to both sides and we have 4|x + 5| ≤ 12.

Now divide both sides by 3 and we have |x + 5| ≤ 3.

Now the the absolute value is isolated, we can split this up.

The first inequality will look exactly like the one

we have right now except for the absolute value.

For the second one, we flip the sign and change the 3 to a negative.

So we have x + 5 ≤ 3 or x + 5 ≥ -3.

Solving each inequality from here, we have x ≤ -2 or x ≥ -8.
