|2x + 6| − 4 = 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with \[|2x+6|=24\] then remove the absolute value signs and write TWO EQUATIONS \[2x+6=24\] \[2x+6=-24\] and solve each separately.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|2x + 6| = 24 2x + 6 = 2, 2x + 6 = -24 x = -2, -15

OpenStudy (buttermequeasy):

x = 9 and x = 11 x = −9 and x = 15 x = 9 and x = −15 No Solution ^ Which one? ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cowsgomoo i think you may have copied your first equation wrong so x should be 9 and -15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be C.x = 9 and x = −15
