Show all work to solve the equation below and write your solution on the space provided. 2|x-1|+3=11

Answer 1

Answer: x = 3, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 |x + 1| + 3 = 11

              -3   -3

2 |x + 1|       = 8

÷2               ÷2

  | x + 1 |    = 4

x + 1 = 4       or        x + 1 = -4

    -1   -1                       -1   -1

x       = 3       or        x      = -5
