Question

Can someone help me find the solution to this equation??

|x - 2| + 3 = 10

Answer 1

First isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation:

|x - 2| + 3 = 10 (subtract 3 from both sides)

|x - 2| = 7

The value inside the signs can be either negative or positive, so x will have two different values. Make two equations, one that equals 7 and one that equals -7:

x - 2 = 7 or x - 2 = -7 (add 2 to both sides)

x = 9 or x = -5 <===ANSWER

Answer 2

|x| + 3 = 12

|x| = 9

x = 9

that is the correct answer i checked it

hope this helps!
