All right, so the absolute value of 3x plus 6 is less than 3.
00:06
Let me double check and make sure i wrote that correctly.
00:09
Stranger things have happened, that is correct.
00:12
Okay, so i like to do it a way, but it may not necessarily be the right way.
00:18
I like to just solve it like you're solving a point.
00:21
I mean, solving it with equals.
00:23
And then we'll go back and use a test point to decide where our things should be.
00:28
So 3x plus 6 equals 3 and 3x plus 6 equals negative 3.
00:38
So let's solve.
00:40
Subtract 6 on both sides.
00:42
So 3x equals negative 3, divide by 3 on both sides, so x equals negative 1.
00:53
Subtract 6 on both sides.
00:55
That gives us 3x equals negative 9, divide by 3 on both sides...
