<span>|4x + 12| = 16
As it is in modulus function, it could be either +ve or -ve
4x+12 = 16 OR 4x - 12 = 16
4x = 16-12 OR 4x = 16 + 12
4x = 4 OR 4x = 28
x = 4/4 OR x = 28/4
x = 1 OR x = 7
In short, Your Answer would be either 1 or 7

The variable x is equal to 3
You add 8 and 5 so the equation would be 8+5=13
Given: 7r+3r-8=8+2r
Simplify: 10r-8=8+2r
Addition: add 8 to each side: 10r=16+2r
Subtraction: Take 2r from each side: 8r=16
Division: Divide each side by 8 for answer: r=2
Answer: r=2
