You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1st statement:
-3(2x+1.2)=-1 OR 3(2x+1.2)=-1

-6x-3.6=-1 6x+3.6=-1
1st statement has 2 solutions
2nd statement:
absolute values either have 0 or 2 solutions
3rd statement:
absolute value multiplied by a postive number can't be negative
4th statement:
absolute value times negative number can't be a positive number so it is this
