Question

what is the solution to the absolute value equation? 2[x+2]-1=5

Answer 1

to solve for x: 2|x+2|-1=5 first isolate the absolute value so add 1 to both sides
+1 +1
2|x+2| = 6 then divide by 2 on both sides
/2 /2
|x+2| = 3 then you can separate both sides into
x+2=3 and -(x+2)=3
-x - 2 = 3 then solve for x for both...

Answer 2

X=1
