I don't understand the question..
OpenStudy (isaidavila):
|x+a|=b
-(x+a)=b or (x+a)=b
OpenStudy (kdr1308):

Well, do you know how to solve two step equations?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh nvm I understand it now...this is really simple...I'll just leave this for ^Kdr to explain .-.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Kdr1308 give me an example .
OpenStudy (kdr1308):
Okay --> 2x + 3 = 11
-3 -3
2x = 8
----------
2 --> x = 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes i understand that so that's how I'm doing my problem.

Yep, but when you put it into 2 separate equations It'll be =4 and =-4 okay?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it will be |X-10| = 4 |X-10| = -4 @Kdr1308
OpenStudy (kdr1308):
Yes, correct!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the answers are going to be positive or one negative one positive @Kdr1308
OpenStudy (kdr1308):
Not always! Want me to show you?
