I am not sure. @phi 
@dougiee what subject is this?

phi · Answer

|5x + 6| = 41

if 5x+6 is positive, then this is the same as the equation
5x+6=41
5x = 41-6  (add -6 to both sides)
5x= 35  (now divide both sides by 5)
x= 7

if 5x +6 is negative, and we multiply by -1, it will be positive, and we can drop the absolute value operation:
-(5x+6) = 41
-5x - 6 = 41
-5x = 47
x = -47/5

we can test both solutions for x in the original equation and see that they are correct
