Question

|3x + 2| = 14

Answer 1

|3x + 2| = 14
-2 -2
-----------------
| 3x |= 12
Divide 3:
x=4

Answer 2

there are 2 solutions to this problem, as it is an absolute value question

3x + 2 = 14 and 3x + 2 = -14

you need to solve both to get all the solutions

Answer 3

@GoldPhenoix i don't think you can subtract anything inside the absolute value before you establish its possible solutions, first. that means getting it out of the absolute value by stating there are two outcomes, -14 and +14
