a.1 or -2
b.-1 or 2
c.1
s.2

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

When taking out the absolute value, it's 4x+2=6 and 4x+2=-6. At this point just solve for x and your answer(s) should be 1/-2

Answer 2

x =1 x=-2

Explanation:

|4x +2|= 6

There are two solutions a positive and a negative

4x+2 = 6 and 4x+2 = -6

Subtract 2 from each side

4x+2-2 = 6-2 4x+2-2 = -6-2

4x = 4 4x = -8

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 4/4 4x/4 =-8/4

x =1 x = -2
