@beccaboo333 I know what you said, but know enough about math to help me out with this? xD

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

I'm only good with very basic math. Like very basic.. I don't have any memory of these kinds of things.

For once the joker needs ya help to take down a common enemy, this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't you just solve it for x, and get 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried but i got like 5.75 for some reason @karleefox

hmmm... here's what I did: 34-10=24 so that leaves you with 4|2x - 2| = 24 Divide that 24 with 4, to give you 6. So, |2x - 2| = 6 Then, I just ignored the lines, because that normally means that whatever is inside it will be a positive number no matter what. 6+2=8, so you have 2x = 8. I divided that by the remaining 2, and found x = 4. To be sure, I plugged 4 into x and got 4|2(4) - 2| + 10 = 34 and it worked out to be true. So I think it would be 4?

you can do it this way hold on let me type it

4|2x - 2| + 10 = 34 4|2x -2| = 34 - 10 --> you move the 10 to the other side 4|2x - 2| = 24 --> you get 24 (4|2x - 2|)/4 = 24/4 --> you divide both sides by 4 |2x - 2| = 6 --> you get 6 on the other side as a result 2x = 6 + 2 --> get rid of the absolute value and move the two over 2x/2 = 8/2 --> you get 8 as a result and divide both sides by 2 x = 4 --> your answer is x = 4

i just realized the answer was already done by karlee wooopsss
