|2x + 6| - 4 = 20
First, add 4 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: |2x + 6| = 20 + 4
Second, simplify 20 + 4 to 24. / Your problem should look like: |2x + 6| = 24
Third, break down the problem into these 2 equations. / 2x + 6 = 24 and -(2x + 6) = 24
Fourth, solve the 1st equation: 2x + 6 = 24
Subtract 6 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 2x = 24 - 6
Simplify 24 - 6 to 18. / Your problem should look like: 2x = 18
Divide both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like: x = 

Simplify 

 to 9 / Your problem should look like: 
x = 9
Fifth, solve the 2nd equation: -(2x + 6) = 24
Simplify brackets. / Your problem should look like: -2x - 6 = 24
Add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2x = 24 + 6
Simplify 24 + 6 to 30. / Your problem should look like: -2x = 30
Divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like: x = 

Simplify 

 to 

 / Your problem should look like: x = 

Simplify 

 to 15. / Your problem should look like: 
x = -15
Sixth, collect all of your solutions. / Your problem should look like: x = -15, 9
Answer: 
x = -15, 9 (C)
 
        
        
        
No it’s not linear. To be linear it has to form a straight line.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a) 2.5 pounds of candy
b) 2.5 pounds of candy
     
     y × 1 = 0.5 × 5
     y = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1 = 5
1/2 = y or 0.5 = y

y × 1 = 0.5 × 5
y = 2.5
