Question

|x+18| =1
please help show steps plz

Answer 1

-17 and -19

Explanation:

Absolute value equations have two problems and two solutions unless the original answer equals a negative-then it would be no solution.

x + 18 =1 subtract 18 from both sides to get x by itself

x = 1-18

x= -17

x +18 = -1 subtract 18 from both sides to get x by itself

x= -1 -18

x= -19

Answer 2

x=-17 and x=-19

Explanation:

-17+18=1

-19+18=-1

|-1| =1
