- 2 = - 4 ∣ y + 2 ∣

y = - \frac{5}{2} or y = - \frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

y = - 2.5, y = - 1.5

Solution steps

- 2 = - 4 ∣ y + 2 ∣

Switch sides

- 4 ∣ y + 2 ∣ = - 2

Divide both sides by

- 4

∣ y + 2 ∣ = \frac{1}{2}

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

y + 2 = - \frac{1}{2} or y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}

y + 2 = - \frac{1}{2} or y + 2 = \frac{1}{2}

y = - \frac{5}{2} or y = - \frac{3}{2}

\frac{x}{a} = b

∣ 4 x - 4 ∣ - 4 = 5 x

x, ∣ x ∣ - y = 2

∣ - 15 + x ∣ = 4

4 ∣ x + 8 ∣ = 20
