Question

NEED HELP.
Solve for x: |2x + 6| − 4 = 20

Answer 1

add 4 on both sides


assume a>0
then use that |x|=a then x=a or x=-a
since |a|=a and |-a|=a

Answer 2

you will have two equations to solve

Answer 3

hmm im a little confused @freckles sorry

Answer 4

have you added 4 on both sides?
if so please write what you have after that?

Answer 5

would my answer be x=9 and x=11 ?

Answer 6

|2x+6|-4=20
add 4 to both sides
|2x+6|=20+4
|2x+6|=24

Answer 7

|2x+6|=24
gives you
2x+6=24 or -(2x+6)=24

solve for x

Answer 8

x=3
