Answer:
x = - 1, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x + 6 | - 4 = 6 ( add 4 to both sides )
2|x + 6 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x + 6 | = 5
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 6 = 5 or - (x + 6) = 5
solve both
x + 6 = 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 1
or
- (x + 6) = 5 , that is
- x - 6 = 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
- x = 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 11
first you have to look to the right of that number .check if it is more than 5. if it is ,than add one to the first digit in the quotient. all the other numbers will turn to zeroes.
1. x midpoint: (-9+4)/(2) = -2
2. y midpoint: (3+7)/(2) = 5
3. The midpoint is (-2,5)
