Question

−∣2x+4∣+3= -4
Absolute Value Equation step by step

Answer 1

x = -3/2

Explanation:

• - |2x + 4| + 3 = -4

Remove the absolute value, since you can't solve anything inside. Everything becomes negative due to the negative sign on the outside.

• -2x - 4 + 3 = -4

Combine -4 + 3, which results in -1.

• -2x - 1 = -4

Move -1 over to the other side through adding, which results in -3.

• -2x = -3

Divide -2 by -3, which doesn't go equally, so you leave it.

• x = -3/2

Go as far as you need for an answer, all will work.
