Given:

[tex]2|x+2|-4=10[/tex]

To solve for x:

Explanation:

On simplification we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2|x+2|=10+4 \\ 2|x+2|=14 \\ |x+2|=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Case (i):

Let us take,

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+2=7 \\ x=7-2 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Case (ii):

Let us take,

[tex]\begin{gathered} -(x+2)=7 \\ x+2=-7 \\ x=-7-2 \\ x=-9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the values of x are 5 and -9.

Final answer:

The values of x are,

[tex]-9\text{ }and\text{ 5}[/tex]
