|x-2|=12

∣ x - 2 ∣ = 12

x = - 10 or x = 14

Solution steps

∣ x - 2 ∣ = 12

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

x - 2 = - 12 or x - 2 = 12

x - 2 = - 12 or x - 2 = 12

x = - 10 or x = 14

5 b^{2} + 45 b

z + 29 > - 85

(\frac{2}{2})^{2}

u^{2} - 3 u - 28 = 0

(\frac{3}{2})^{- 2} \cdot \frac{9}{16}
