5 0

-3|2x + 6| = -12
|2x + 6| = -12/-3 = 4
2x + 6 = 4 and 2x + 6 = -4
2x = 4 - 6 = -2 and 2x = -4 - 6 = -10
x = -2/2 = -1 and x = -10/2 = -5
x = -1 and x = -5

<h2>There are 45 houses on the left and require 95 plates, while there are 44 houses on the right and require 94 plates</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Houses are numbered from 1 to 99. So, there are 99 houses. Odd-numbered houses are on the left. So, there are 50 houses on the left, while there are 49 houses on the right.

For houses on left : The houses are numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13..... 97, 99

So 5 houses( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) require only one plate for numbering, while the remaining 45 houses require 2 plates each. So total number of plates = $5\textrm{x}1+45\textrm{x}2$ = $95$ plates.

For houses on right : The houses are numbered 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14.... 96, 98

So 4 houses( 2, 4, 6, 8) require only one plate for numbering, while the remaining 45 houses require 2 plates each. So total number of plates = $4\textrm{x}1+45\textrm{x}2$ = $94$ plates.
