Question

Solve |x + 4| = 8
Write both solutions as equations on the same line separated by a comma.

Answer 1

x={-4,-12} hope that helps :)

Answer 2

x = {- 12, 4}

Explanation:

`|x + 4| = 8 \\ x + 4 = \pm8 \\ x = \pm \: 8 - 4 \\ x = 8 - 4 \: or \: x = - 8 - 4 \\ x = 4 \: or \: x = - 12 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{x = \{ - 12, \: 4 \}}}`
