Question

Solve for x. |2x + 2| = 14
Can someone please show me how to do absolute value equations?

Answer 1

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow |2x + 2| = 14 \Longrightarrow 2x + 2 = \pm 14 }\)

Answer 2

So we have two equations

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 2x + 2 = 14 }\)
AND
\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 2x + 2 = -14}\)

solve both and you get both solutions

Answer 3

So, I need to do the equation but write it down twice with the positive and negative sign?

Answer 4

Yep

Answer 5

Thank you
