Question

Solve for x. 10 - |x + 2| = 12

Answer 1

no solution

Answer 2

there is no solution?

Answer 3

if you move the constants to one side

so subtract 10 from both sides

-|x+2|=2

you must get -2 for |x+2| for this to be true but |x| is always positive

Answer 4

x=> -2 ->
10 -(x+2) = 12
10 -x -2 = 12
8 -x =12
x = -20
but since we are in a part which x=> -2 it cant be ..

x < -2
10 - (-(x+2)) = 12
10 + x + 2 = 12
12 + x = 12
x = 0
but this cant be as well for the same reason ..

no solution

Answer 5

okay thanks!
