Answer:

x = -1 , - 11,

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | = x

|- x | = x

f(x) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

x = - 1 , f( - 1) = 2 | - 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 1 , f( 1 ) = 2 | 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 7 | - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10 , False

x = 11, f( 11 ) = 2 | 11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 17 | - 4 = 34 - 4 = 30 , False

x = - 11, f( - 11) = 2 | -11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 14 , f( 14 ) = 2 | 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = -14 , f( - 14 ) = 2 | - 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 8 | - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 , False

x = - 26 , f( - 26) = 2 | -26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | -20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = 26, f( 26 ) = 2 | 26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 32 | - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 , False

                                                    OR

Given f ( x ) = 6

f( x ) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6  = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 + 4 = 2 | x + 6| - 4 + 4                 [ adding 4 to both sides ]

10 = 2 | x + 6 | + 0

5 = | x + 6 |                                    [ dividing both sides by 2 ]

- 5 =\  ( x+ 6) \ = 5\\\\                            [ \ | x | = a\  => \ -a \ =  x \ = a  \ ]

- 5 - 6 =  \ x + 6 - 6 \ = \ 5 - 6\\            [ \ subtracting \ by \ 6 \ ]

-11 = \ x \ =  - 1

irina [24]

Answer:

a = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

-a/6 +8 = 12

Subtract 8 from each side

-a/6 +8-8 = 12 -8

-a/6 = 4

Multiply by -6 on each side

-a/6 * -6 = 4*-6

a = -24
