Q. Solve the absolute value equation. Check your solutions.\newlinex+4=10 |x+4|=10
  1. Understand absolute value equation: Step 11: Understand the absolute value equation.\newlineThe equation x+4=10\lvert x+4 \rvert = 10 means the expression inside the absolute value, x+4x+4, can be either 1010 or 10-10.
  2. Solve for x (x+4=10)(x+4=10): Step 22: Solve for x when x+4=10x+4 = 10.x+4=10x + 4 = 10x=104x = 10 - 4x=6x = 6
  3. Solve for xx (x+4=10x+4=-10): Step 33: Solve for xx when x+4=10x+4 = -10.x+4=10x + 4 = -10x=104x = -10 - 4x=14x = -14
  4. Check solutions in original equation: Step 44: Check the solutions in the original equation.\newlineFor x=6x = 6:\newlinex+4=6+4=10=10|x + 4| = |6 + 4| = |10| = 10, which is correct.\newlineFor x=14x = -14:\newlinex+4=14+4=10=10|x + 4| = |-14 + 4| = |-10| = 10, which is also correct.
