Question

Solve for x: |x + 2| + 16 = 14

Answer 1

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an absolute value equation $|x+2|+16=14$. We are asked to solve our given equation.

First of all, we will subtract 16 from both sides of our given equation.

$|x+2|+16-16=14-16$

$|x+2|=-2$

We know that absolute value is always greater than on equal to 0 and it cannot be less than 0.

Since -2 is less than 0, therefore, there is no solution for our given absolute value equation.

Answer 2

This equation is false

so no solutions exist, u might as well say 0 or just nothing
