Question

Solve each algebraically
|x|=12
|x|=1/2
|x|-6=4
5+|x|=14
3|x|=24
|x+3|=10

Answer 1

1. x = 12 or -12 because the absolute value equals 12 either way

2. -1/2 or 1/2

3. 10 or -10 .           10-6=4

4. 9 or -9 .           5 + 9 = 14

5. x = 8 or -8 .        3(8) = 24

6. -7 or 7        3 + 7 = 10
