5|2x-2|+8=18
5|2x+2|=10
|2x+2|=2
by removing the absolute and but + or -
(2x+2) = 2 & (2x+2)=-2
so , x = 0 & x=-2
so it is the second answer
1 Subtract
9
y
9y from both sides
4
x
=
6
3
−
9
y
4x=63−9y
2 Divide both sides by
4
4
x
=
6
3
−
9
y
4
x=
4
63−9y
3 Factor out the common term
9
9
x
=
9
(
7
−
y
)
4
x=
4
9(7−y)
Done
