|x+4|+3=17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers are 10 and -18. If you need an explanation let me know

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

i got ten but i didn't get -24...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-24? that should not be an answer. you should get the negative answer like this: |x+4|+3=17 |x+4|=14 change the + to a - |x-4|=14 x=18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then you just add the neg. sing (-)

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

oh, okay thanks i see what i did wrong now .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright :)
