Answer 1

x = -2

x=-12

Explanation:

5 | x+7| +14 = 39

Subtract 14 from each side

5 | x+7| +14-14 = 39-14

5 | x+7| = 25

Divide each side by 5

5 | x+7| /5 = 25/5

| x+7| = 5

Make two equations, one positive and one negative

x+7 =5 x+7 = -5

Subtract 7 from each side

x+7-7 = 5-7 x+7-7 = -5-7

x = -2 x=-12
