Alg 2 - Solving eqs and Absolute value eqs

What is the first step to solve this equation:
-11 - 3x = 44

• Add 3 to both sides
• Subtract 11 from both sides
• Add 11 to both sides
• Divide 3 on both sides.

Solve:
2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)

• 1.2
• 6
• -6
• 7.5

• -32

• -16

• -10

• 32

• f= 4b + 12

• f= 4b -12

• f= 1/4 b +12

• b = 4f + 12

Solve for x:
5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• x = 6
• x = -6
• x = -18/13
• x = 10/3

−2|−2r − 4| = -12

• {3,1}

• {-5,1}

• {-3}

• No Solution

Solve |x – 12| - 3 = 11.
