Question

Will give medal. c:
Solve for x: |2x + 6| − 4 = 20

Answer 1

start by isolating the absolute value

Answer 2

|2x + 6| − 4 = 20
To solve for x, isolate x.
Add 4 to both sides. What do you get?

Answer 3

|2x+6| - 4= 20
+4 +4
|2x+6|= 24 ?

Answer 4

once you've done that make your two different problems and solve for x for each. Your first one will be 2x + 6 = 24 and your second will be 2x + 6 = -24

Answer 5

Yes.
Use this fact: If |A| = B, it means A = B, A = -B

Answer 6

okay I'll write that down

Answer 7

once you solve for x for each, that will give you your x values

Answer 8

If |A| = B, it means A = B, A = -B
Therefore, |2x+6|= 24 means
2x+6 = 24 or 2x+6 = -24
Solve each equation separately

Answer 9

2x+6= 24
-6 -6
2x= 18
2x/2 = 18/2
x= 9

2x+6= -24
-6 -6
2x= -30
2x/2= -30/2
x= -15

did i do this right?

Answer 10

Yes!

Answer 11

yay thanks!

Answer 12

You are welcome.
