=> |x + 9| = 2

=> ( | x + 9 | )² = 2²

=> x + 9 = ±2

=> x = -9 +2 , -9-2

=> x = - 7 , -11

Option 4 is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = - 7 , - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4 | x +9| = - 8\\\\\frac{-4}{-4} |x+9| = \frac{-8}{-4}\\\\1 | x+9| = 2\\\\x+9 = - 2\ , x + 9 = 2\\\\x + 9 - 9 = - 2 - 9 , \ x + 9 - 9 = 2 - 9\\\\x + 0 = - 1 1 \ , \ x + 0 = - 7\\\\x = -11 \ , \ x = - 7$
