my answer is b!!!! :)
Solve for x. |x - 2| + 10 = 12
x = 4 and x = 0
x = -15 and x = 9
x = -4 and x = -2
x = -3 and x = 1
no solutions

Okay these aren't numbered so what one of these is "B"?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

| | mean opposite?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I agree with @zerosniper123 I would say the first one also.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It means the absolute value...Which in this case does mean the opposite sign. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you babies
OpenStudy (anonymous):
| | is like how many spaces it is from 0 So |-2|=2 and |2|=2

oh that makes sense
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i found my answer loves:)
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
|x - 2| + 10 = 12
Subtract 10 from both sides
|x - 2| = 2
Now set what is inside the abdolute value signs equal to 2 and equal to -2. Solve both equations.
x - 2 = 2 or x - 2 = -2
Add 2 to both sides (in both equations)
x = 4 or x = 0
