Question

Solve for x by first setting up two equations. Then find the PRODUCT of your solutions |2x+5|=7

Answer 1

Answer: see below

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x+5|=7

2x+5=±7 ⇔ since the absolutely value of any number is all positive, so the value in side can be either positive or negative

2x+5=7  or  2x+5=-7

    2x=2            2x=-12

      x=1      or       x=-6

----------------------------------------

The product of the two solutions

1 × -6=-6
