Solve for x: |x| − 8 = −5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Step(1):Add 4 to both sides
|2x+6|=24
Step(2):Distribute
2x+6=24 ,2x+6=-24
Step(3):Subtract 5 from both sides
2x=18 , 2x=-30
Step(4):Divide By 2 :
x=9 , x=-15

1-Add 8 to both sides
|x|=3
2-Distribute
x=3 ,x=-3 .

The Aim From Adding And Subtracting Is To get the Absolute Value(modulus) in a side alone and the others in another Side To solve for x ...
In Your Equation The Modulus Is Stick with -8 so i added 8 to cancel it and leave the modulus alone ..
IF it was |x|-5=8 i will add 5 and so on.... It depend on the Number(s) on the same Side

Now Try To Solve the Question alone ..Show me your work
