How do you solve
1. |x+2|-3= 9
2. |x-3|+2= 2
I don't get it, please help
get the absolute value by itself on one side
remove the absolute value by adding ± to the other side
|x+2|-3= 9 ... |x+2| = 12 ... x + 2 = ±12 ... x = 10 , x = -14
1. |x+2|-3= 9
2. |x-3|+2= 2
I don't get it, please help
remove the absolute value by adding ± to the other side
|x+2|-3= 9 ... |x+2| = 12 ... x + 2 = ±12 ... x = 10 , x = -14
