Question

Solve |p + 2| = 10
{-8, 8}
{-12}
{-12, 8}

Answer 1

{-12, 8}

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

|p+2|=10

Solve Absolute Value.

|p+2|=10

We know eitherp+2=10orp+2=−10

p+2=10(Possibility 1)

p+2−2=10−2(Subtract 2 from both sides)

p=8

p+2=−10(Possibility 2)

p+2−2=−10−2(Subtract 2 from both sides)

p=−12
