Question

What is the solution to -4|-2X +6|=-24

Answer 1

x=0 or x=6

Explanation:

Step 1: Divide both sides by -4.

−4(|−2x+6|)

−4

=

−24

−4

|−2x+6|=6

Step 2: Solve Absolute Value.

|−2x+6|=6

We know either−2x+6=6or−2x+6=−6

−2x+6=6(Possibility 1)

−2x+6−6=6−6(Subtract 6 from both sides)

−2x=0

−2x

−2

=

0

−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x=0.
