solve the equation:
I 2x+6 I =12
sn* thats not a 12 or 61 there are lines in front

Solve 2 equations...
2x + 6 = 12 and 2x + 6 = -12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so x = 3 or x = -9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and that is the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whenever it's absolute value, you have to solve the equation twice.

can i ask you another one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I 9X-2 I=7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Set up 2 equations....
9x - 2 = 7 and 9x - 2 = -7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
an you know there are lines in fornt of the 9 and after the 2 right

so its 7 , -7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, you have to solve each equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Add the 2, and then divide by 9 for each equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you know what I mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no sorry

You have to solve each equation for x. In order to do that, you first add 2 to both sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
On the first equation, if you add 2, you would get 9x = 9. Then divide both sides by 9 and that would give you x = 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you do that for the other equation, first add 2 to both sides. That would give you 9x = -5. Then divide both sides by 9. x = -5/9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay i guess i get it alittle i have to practice more i guess
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Good luck!
