Solve for x: |12x + 12|=18

x = 1/2 or x = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

abs(12 x + 12) = 18

Hint: | Eliminate the absolute value.

Split the equation into two possible cases:

12 x + 12 = 18 or 12 x + 12 = -18

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 from both sides:

12 x = 6 or 12 x + 12 = -18

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 12:

x = 1/2 or 12 x + 12 = -18

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 from both sides:

x = 1/2 or 12 x = -30

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 12:

x = 1/2 or x = -5/2
