Question

|x+14|=5 solve for x

Answer 1

Answer = -9
Method:
First you have to do the opposite of +14 which is -14 from both sides
5 minus 14 is -9

Answer 2

x = -9 , -19

Explanation:

Solving absolute value equation:

Compare the contents of the absolute value expression to both +5 and -5 and solve for x.

x + 14 = 5 ; x + 14 = -5

Subtract 14 from both sides,

x = 5 - 14 ; x = -5 - 14

x = -9 ; x = -19

x = -9 or -19
