Answer 6

|3x+2| = 14

by opening up this absolute value, we are considering values of x to the left and right side of this function.

3x +2 = -14 Or 3x +2 = 14

3x = -16 Or 3x = 12

x = ? Or x =?

Answer 18

yu will have TWO answers. Like i mentioned in my above post.

3x= -16 divide both sides by 3

3x/3 =-16/3

Simplify

x =-16/3

---------------------------------------------------------------------

3x = 12

divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 12/3 = 4.
