Solve the following equation
|2x+6|-7=40
|2x+6|-7 = 40
|2x + 6| - 7 + 7 = 40 + 7
|2x + 6| = 47
Absolute Value Equations
Since this is an absolute value equationSetup two equations
2x+6 - 6= 47 - 6
2x = 41
Keep our =
Solution to absolute value equation 1 is
x = 20.5
2x+6 - 6= -47 - 6
2x = - 53
Solution to absolute value equation 2 is
x = -26.5
