Question

|26 - 4c| = - 2help me please

Answer 1

The given equation is

$|26-4c|=-2$

Remember that an absolute value equation is rewritten as two other equations

$\begin{gathered} 26-4c=-2 \\ 26-4c=-(-2) \end{gathered}$

Let's solve both equations

$26-4c=-2\rightarrow-4c=-2-26\rightarrow-4c=-28\rightarrow c=\frac{-28}{-4}=7$$26-4c=-(-2)\rightarrow26-4c=2\rightarrow-4c=2-26\rightarrow c=\frac{-24}{-4}=6$

Therefore, the solutions are 7 and 6.
