Question

Solve for x: |x + 2| + 16 = 14

Answer 1

This equation is false

so no solutions exist, u might as well say 0 or just nothing

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

We have been given an absolute value equation
`|x+2|+16=14`. We are asked to solve our given equation.

First of all, we will subtract 16 from both sides of our given equation.

`|x+2|+16-16=14-16`

`|x+2|=-2`

We know that absolute value is always greater than on equal to 0 and it cannot be less than 0.

Since -2 is less than 0, therefore, there is no solution for our given absolute value equation.
