2|x − 6| + 14 = 38

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

2(x^2 +36) +14 =38 2(x^2+36) =38-14 x^2 + 36= 24\2 x^2 +36 = 12 x^2 =12-36 x^2 = -24 tkaing square root on both sides \[\sqrt{x ^{2}}=\sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times-3 }\] \[x = 2 \sqrt{-6} \] or x=\[x = 2\sqrt{6}\iota \] so the root is imaginary

THANKS !!!! :)

OpenStudy (yttrium):

You sure @Haseeb96 ?

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

yes 100%

OpenStudy (yttrium):

2|x-6| = 24 |x-6| = 12 consider two cases again x-6 = 12 -(x-6) = 12 x = 18 and x = -6

OpenStudy (yttrium):

It's just about absolute values. @Haseeb96

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

yttrium there first we apply Modulus

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

I x -6 I = 12 I I is the sign of modulus

OpenStudy (yttrium):

is it really modulus @Goldenmoon or and absolute value? what your lesson is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer was wrong , its absolute value :/ sorry

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Then follow what I've writtern here @Goldenmoon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did , it was correct . Thank you.

OpenStudy (yttrium):

No prob. :))
