Question

Solve for x: |x + 2| + 16 = 14 (2 points)

x = -32 and x = -4
x = -4 and x = 0
x = 0 and x = 28
No solution

Answer 1

no solution

Answer 2

|x+2|+16-16=14-16
=>|x+2|=-2
removing magnitued give rise to +- so

=>x+2=+-2
=>either x+2=-2 or x+2=2

now solve both of these for x..

Answer 3

is the answer really no solution

Answer 4

abolute value cannot produce negative numbers therefore no solution

Answer 5

true true
