Question

|x+14|=5 solve for x

Answer 1

Answer = -9
Method:
First you have to do the opposite of +14 which is -14 from both sides
5 minus 14 is -9

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -9 , -19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving absolute value equation:

Compare the contents of the absolute value expression to both +5 and -5 and solve for x.

 x + 14 = 5                ; x + 14 = -5

Subtract 14 from both sides,

       x  = 5 - 14          ;     x   = -5 - 14

       x = -9                ;       x = -19

x = -9 or -19
