2x + 12 = 18
18 - 12 = 6
2x = 6
x = 3

So you want to drop the absolute value signs and you need to make two equations:

2x + 12 = 18 OR 2x + 12 = -18
subtract both sides by 12 for both equations
2x = 6 OR 2x = -30
divide both sides by 2 for both equations
x = 3 OR x = -15

i hope this helps!!

X + 8y = 18 and — 5x + 3y = -4

atroni [7]

X+8y=18
-5x+3y=-4

Multiply the first equation by 5
Add the two equations together

5x+40y=90
-5x+3y=-4
43y=86
Y=2

Plug y into one equation to find x
X+16=18
X=2
