ALGEBRA 2!!!!!!!HELP

Answer 1

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
