Question

Can someone help me do this problem please

|2x-4|=22

Answer 1

2x-4 = 22

2x = 26

x=13 check |26-4|=22

-(2x-4) = 22

-2x+4 = 22

-2x = 18

x=-9 Check |-18 -4| = |-22| = 22

Answer 2

x=13

Explanation:

Finding the answer to this is very simple actually. you can actually solve this problem without the || because x has to be a positive value for this to work. 2x-4=22 can be done by adding 4 to both sides and getting the answer 26. Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 2 to get x=13
