Question

Solve for x: |x − 2| + 10 = 12

x = 0 and x = 4
x = −4 and x = 0
x = −20 and x = 4
No solution

Answer 1

|x-2|+10=12
|x-2|=12-10
....

Answer 2

well the 1st step is to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation

and you get

|x - 2| = 2

since this is an absolute value equation you need to solve

x - 2 = 2 and x - 2 = -2

to get the 2 possible solutions
