Answer 1

please Help!! I need to get this done

Answer 2

|2x + 4| > 14

You have to solve this 2 ways.

2x + 4 > 14

and

2x - 4 > 14

----------------------------

2x + 4 > 14

Subtract 4 to both sides:

2x > 10

Divide 2 to both sides:

x > 5

----------------------------

2x - 4 > 14

Add 4 to both sides:

2x > 18

Divide 2 to both sides:

x > 9


So your answers are x > 5 and x > 9.
