Question

Can someone please explain this to me ?
Solve |p + 2| = 10

Answer 1

If that's the case, if p + 2 were 10, it would satisfy the equality, right? But is that the only value for p+2 such that its absolute value is 10?

Answer 2

huh ? lol i need steps to figure it out .

Answer 3

Think of it this way:
if
|x| = 1, it could mean either x = 1, or...?

Answer 4

p+2 is either 10 0r -10 so that the abs value will be 10
therefor p = 8 or -12
abs (8+2) =10
and also abs(-12+2) = abs (-10) = 10
