Question

v

Answer 1

replace x by each option and check if they satisfy the equation
remember that any value in the mod brackets becomes positive

Answer 2

seems like NONE match ...

Answer 3

try 2

Answer 4

I did do that @cwrw238

Answer 5

what does 'mod' bit give for x = 2?

Answer 6

i tried drawing it but draw not working

Answer 7

whats 'mod' bit

Answer 8

the x - 10 with straight line parentheses

Answer 9

- also called the absolute value
if expression inside is negative it becomes positive

Answer 10

\[\left| x - 10 \right|\]

Answer 11

r u there?

Answer 12

Start by isolating the absolute value:
\[\vert x-10 \vert =2x+4\]
This sis true when
\[x - 10 = 2x+4\]
and when \[x-10 = -(2x+4)\]
Then just solve the two linear equations to get \(x = -14\) and \(x = 2\).
Check the solutions in the original problem:
\(\vert -14-10 \vert -4 =2(-14)\) is not true, so -14 is not a good solution.
\(\vert 2-10 \vert -4 =2(2)\) is true, and therefore the solution.
