Question

2|x|-10=22

Answer 1

x= 16 1/2, -16 1/2?

Answer 2

\[\large 2|x|-10=22\]


\[\large 2|x|=22+10\]


\[\large 2|x|=32\]


\[\large |x|=\frac{32}{2}\]


\[\large |x|=16\]


\[\large x=16 \textrm{ or } x=-16\]

Answer 3

no, steps are
1) add 10 to both sides
2) divide both sides by 2
3) remove absolute value signs, write plus or minus
