    1.

    |x| = 6

    x = 6 or x = -6

    2.

    |3x + 2| = 14

    3x + 2 = 14 or 3x + 2 = -14

    3x + 2 = 14

    3x = 12

    x = 4

    3x + 2 = -14

    3x = -16

    x = -16/3

    3.

    -5|x + 1| = -10

    |x + 1| = 2

    x + 1 = 2 or x + 1 = -2

    x + 1 = 2

    x = 1

    x + 1 = -2

    x = -3

    The rest are similar, see if you can do it
