Given,

[tex]|2x+6|-4=20[/tex]

On simplifying,

[tex]\begin{gathered} |2x+6|=20+4 \\ \Rightarrow|2x+6|=24 \\ 2x+6=\pm24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x=+24-6 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{18}{2} \\ =9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Or

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x=-24-6 \\ x=\frac{-30}{2} \\ =-15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, x=9 and x=-15

Therefore the correct answer is the third option
