Solve the Absolute Value Equation: 3|x + 2| = 18

To solve $3|x + 2| = 18$, first divide by 3 to get $|x + 2| = 6$.

This absolute value equation means $x + 2 = 6$ or $x + 2 = -6$. Solving these:

1. $x + 2 = 6$ leads to $x = 4$.

2. $x + 2 = -6$ leads to $x = -8$.

Therefore, the solutions are $x = 4$ and $x = -8$.
