Question

Solve for x: |x + 2| + 16 = 14

Answer 1

I don't think the solution exists.

by definition the absolute value returns a positive or zero

so | x + 2| well be postive or zero

adding 16 to it will return a value of 16 or some value greater than 16.

so it is impossible to get a value of 14

Answer 2

Thanks Anyways ^.^

Answer 3

since Ix+2I is negative therefore no value exist.
