The values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions
<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>
The equation is given as:
2|x + 7|= x - 8
Expand the absolute bracket
|2x + 14|= x - 8
Remove the absolute bracket
2x + 14 = x - 8 and 2x + 14 = -x + 8
Evaluate the like terms
x = -22 and 3x = -6
This gives
x = -22 and x = -2
Hence, the values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions

The two numbers are 0.85 and 0.15
if you add them together you get 1, 0.85+0.15=1
and if you subtract them you get 0.7, 0.85-0.15=0.7
