$x = - 2$ $x = -2$

Because $0$ $0$ has no sign this equation can be written as:

$6 + 3 x = 0$ $6 + 3x = 0$

Solving for $x$ $x$ gives:

$6 + 3 x - 6 = 0 - 6$ $6 + 3x - 6 = 0 - 6$

$3 x = - 6$ $3x = -6$

$\frac{3 x}{3} = - \frac{6}{3}$ $(3x)/3 = -6/3$

$x = - 2$ $x = -2$

How do you solve |6+3x|=0abs(6+3x)=0?
