y=|x+3|

the given modulus function can be written as

x+3>0

x>-3

for x>-3

y=|x+3|=x+3

x+3<0

x<-3

For x<-3

y=|x+3|=-(x+3)

AOI graph

Integral to be evaluated is

\\\int_{-6}^{0}|x+3|dx\\ =\int_{-6}^{-3}(-x-3)dx+\int_{-3}^{0}(x+3)dx\\ =[-\frac{x^{2}}{2}-3x]_{-6}^{-3}+[\frac{x^{2}}{2}+3x]_{-3}^{0}\\ =(-\frac{9}{2}+9)-(-18+18)+0-(\frac{9}{2}-9)\\ =9
