Answer:

x = 8 or x = -24

Explanation:

Hello!

An absolute value expression has two cases, a positive and a negative.

Therefore, we have to solve two equations here:

  • x + 8 = 16
  • x + 8 = -16

1)

  • x + 8 = 16
  • x = 8

2)

  • x + 8 = -16
  • x = -24

The two solutions are x = 8 and x = -24.
