Answer:

There are 2 solutions x=0 x=4

Explanation:

2 | 6-3x| +4 = 16

Subtract 4 from each side

2 | 6-3x| +4 -4= 16-4

2 | 6-3x| = 12

Divide by 2

2/2 | 6-3x| = 12/2

| 6-3x| = 6

Now set what is inside the absolute value equal to plus and minus what is on the right side

6-3x = 6 or 6-3x = -6

Subtract 6 from each side

6-6-3x = 6-6 or 6-6-3x = -6-6

-3x =0 -3x = -12

Divide by -3 on each side

-3x/-3 =0/-3 -3x/-3 = -12/-3

x =0 x=4

There are 2 solutions x=0 x=4
