Answer:
n = -1 n = -7
Explanation:
5| 2n+8| +3 = 33
Subtract 3 from each side
5| 2n+8| +3-3 = 33-3
5| 2n+8| = 30
Divide by 5
5/5| 2n+8| = 30/5
| 2n+8| = 6
An absolute value equation has two solutions, one positive and one negative
2n+8 = 6 2n+8 = -6
Subtract 8 from each side
2n+8-8=6-8 2n+8-8 = -6-8
2n = -2 2n = -14
Divide by 2
2n/2 = -2/2 2n/2 = -14/2
n = -1 n = -7
