Question

Solve for x: |x + 2| + 16 = 14

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

Answer 1

add -16 to both sides, and solve for the absolute value

Answer 2

Plug in the numbers in the multiple response.

Answer 3

|x+2|=−2=no solutions since absolute value=nothing less than 0

Answer 4

Check if there is anything that will get you to a result of 14 and you will clearly see that there ins't any.

Answer 5

*isn't

Answer 6

So I would just say "No solutions."
