Answer:

x =1     x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 12| = 16

Absolute value equations have two solutions, one positive and one negative

4x+12 = 16          4x+12 = -16

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12-12 = 16-12          4x+12-12 = -16-12

4x =4                               4x =-28

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 4/4                       4x/4 = -28/4

x =1                                   x = -7
