Question

Help please! absolute value equations! ​

Answer 1

Answer:

n = -1                       n = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

5| 2n+8| +3 = 33

Subtract 3 from each side

5| 2n+8| +3-3 = 33-3

5| 2n+8| = 30

Divide by 5

5/5| 2n+8| = 30/5

| 2n+8| = 6

An absolute value equation has two solutions, one positive and one negative

2n+8 = 6              2n+8 = -6

Subtract 8 from each side

2n+8-8=6-8          2n+8-8 = -6-8

2n = -2                    2n = -14

Divide by 2

2n/2 = -2/2            2n/2 = -14/2

n = -1                       n = -7
