14=|w+2|

14 = ∣ w + 2 ∣

w = - 16 or w = 12

Solution steps

14 = ∣ w + 2 ∣

Switch sides

∣ w + 2 ∣ = 14

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

w + 2 = - 14 or w + 2 = 14

w + 2 = - 14 or w + 2 = 14

w = - 16 or w = 12

∣ 2 v + 9 ∣ = 4 v - 3

∣ b + 3 ∣ = 0

\frac{k}{3} - 4 + 7 = 7

- ∣ x + 5 ∣ = 6

∣ b + 3 ∣ = 5
