Question

Solve for x. |2x + 2| = 14

Answer 1

since it is an absolute value then you have two answers:

2x +2 = 14 and 2x +2 = =14

Answer 2

I meant 2x + 2 = -14

Answer 3

solve for x

Answer 4

6 and 8 or 8 and 6

Answer 5

2x +2 = -14
-2 - 2
------------

2x = -16 so x = -8

so 6 and -8

Answer 6

what that means is that the equation
{2x+2} = 14 is true when x = 6 or -8, plug the numbers to see if is true

Answer 7

so you have
{2(6)+2} = 14
{12+2} = 14
{14} = 14 TRUE

Answer 8

now the other
{2(-8)+2} = 14
{-16+2} = 14
{-14} = 14 TRUE
