Question

Solve |12x + 1| = 10 (9/2, 11/2) (-9/2, 9/2) (-112.9/2)

Answer 1

|12x + 1| = 10

Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:

12x +1 = 10

12x +1 = -10

Now solve for both x values:

12x +1 = 10

Subtract 1 from both sides:

12x = 9

Divide both sides by 12:

x = 9/12

12x +1 = -10

Subtract 1 from both sides:

12x = -11

Divide both sides by 12:

x = -11/12

The answer would be (-11/12, 912)
