For #2, you divide 2 on both sides which then cancels out the 2 and is written as, |x-1|=4 then you solve it from there just like how you did on #1. For the rest of some of your problems just do what you did for #1 and the problems with a number at the front.. example.( 1 |x+1| = 1 ).. All you have to do is divide both sides. Do not divide the inside of the box | |
