Question

Solve for x: |2x + 6| − 4 = 20

Answer 1

Have you considered adding 4 and dividing by 2?

Answer 2

Adding 4 to 20?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

add 4 to 20 then divide 24 by 2

Answer 5

\[|2x+6|=24\]
undue the absolute value term. To undue it you should follow this rule \[|x|=\pm x \]
That means with your equation, you should use the plus or minus to the right side of the equation so u can undue the absolute value from the left side of the equation
\[2x+6=\pm 24 \]

Since 24 is plus or minus, then the equation will have two solutions when solving for x.

Answer 6

solve for x
2x+6=24

then solve for x when 24 is negative
2x+6=-(24)

Answer 7

I got 2x=30 and 2x=-18

Answer 8

2x+6=24
subtract -6 to both sides u get
2x=18

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

2x=30 is wrong too

Answer 11

2x+6=-(24)
u subtract -6 to both sides
2x=-(24)-6

what's -24-6?

Answer 12

-30

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

for 2x+6=24
when u subtract -6 to both sides what will u get
2x+6(-6)=24-6
6-6 is zero so it cancels out
2x=24-6

Answer 15

24-6?

Answer 16

So i would be 2x=-30 and 2x=18?

Answer 17

yep

Answer 18

So it would be x=-15 and x=-9

Answer 19

now to isolate x for the multiplication of 2, divide 2 to both side
2x=-30
2/2x=-30/2

and 2x=18
2/2x=18/2

Answer 20

so 18/2=-9??

Answer 21

Ohh ok i see now it would be x=-15 and x=9

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

ok thank you :3
