Answer 1

Try solving the above first for |x|

Answer 2

idk how thats why i put it on here

Answer 3

how?

Answer 4

ok i didn't know you didn't know how to isolate |x|

Answer 5

so that means if we had the equation 15+x=26
you wouldn't know how to solve that for x right?

Answer 6

soory that sounded meaner then what i thought in my head :(

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

ok
so do you know that a+(-a)=0?

Answer 9

idk what your talking about honestly

Answer 10

so you don't know what 15+(-15) is?

Answer 11

0?

Answer 12

yes a+(-a) is 0

Answer 13

so if we had the equation a+|x|=b
and I wanted to solve it I would first +(-a) on both sides
so I would have
a+(-a)+|x|=b+(-a)
0+|x|=b+(-a)
but 0+|x| is |x|
|x|=b+(-a) <--- so we have solve a+|x|=b for |x|

Answer 14

can you do that with your problem solve it for |x| now?

Answer 15

hint the +(-15) on both sides

Answer 16

ok you lost me.....
but just never mind i have like a minute left before i submit it and i know i wont get it in time
