Question

Solve the equation. If there is more than one solution, separate them with a comma.ma13 + 2 + 1 = 7

Answer 1

`x\text{ = -7,5}`

Here, we want to solve the given equation

We can rewrite the equation as follows;

`\begin{gathered} 13\text = 7 \\ |x+1|\text{ = 7-13} \\ |x+1|\text{ = -6} \end{gathered}`

So, we have this as;

x+1 = -6 or x+1 = 6

x = -6-1 or x = 6-1

x = -7 or 5
