Need help with What is the sum of the solutions of 2|x - 1| - 4 = -2? A. B. 0 C. -2 D. 2

OpenStudy (mysteriousgirl109):

Do you know what step 1 is?

OpenStudy (paulr):

I have no idea

OpenStudy (mysteriousgirl109):

Well first, you need to distribute the 2 to |x-1| you do that by dropping the | | and multiplying x and -1 by 2

OpenStudy (paulr):

Is -2 correct?

OpenStudy (mysteriousgirl109):

What did you get when you multiplied both values by 2?

OpenStudy (paulr):

Can you explain how you got to that answer? Maybe if I see your steps I can tell you where you're going wrong and we can work from there
