Solve the following absolute value equation.

2/x+1] = 6

3

3

x = [?]

x = - [ ]

Enter

So the equation is 2[x + 1] = 6, right? So you'd solve it as follows:

2[x + 1] = 6

Divide both sides by 2

[x + 1] = 3

Subtract one to get x by itself

[x] = 2

If x is 2, then the absolute value of x is the absolute value of 2. The absolute value of 2 is 2 and - 2

X = 2 or - 2
