Answer:

Explanation:

|2x + 11| = 2(x+1) to find the absolute value we write two equations

2x + 11 = 2x + 2 or

2x + 11 = -2x - 2 for the first equation

2x + 11 = 2x + 2 export like terms to the same side of the equation

2x - 2x = 2 - 11

0 = -9 this expression is wrong now let's try second equation

2x + 11 = -2x - 2 export like terms to the same side of the equation

2x + 2x = -2 - 11

4x = -13 divide both sides by 4

x = -13/4
