Question

NEED THIS ASAP Solve each absolute value by expression

1) [x+8]=16

Answer 1

`x + 8= 16`

`\rightarrow \: x = 16 - 8`

`\rightarrow \: x = 8`

Answer 2

x = 8 or x = -24

Explanation:

Hello!

An absolute value expression has two cases, a positive and a negative.

Therefore, we have to solve two equations here:

• x + 8 = 16
• x + 8 = -16

1)

• x + 8 = 16
• x = 8

2)

• x + 8 = -16
• x = -24

The two solutions are x = 8 and x = -24.
