2|x+4|=8 — step-by-step solution

Let's solve in

ℝ

2 \cdot | x + 4 | = 8

You can factorize this expression into:

2 \cdot (| x + 4 | - 4) = 0

Let's solve:

| x + 4 | - 4 = 0

| A | = B

is equivalent to:

A = B

A = - B

Let's solve in

ℝ

x + 4 = 4

x = 4 - 4

Solution obtained:

x = 0

Let's solve in

ℝ

x + 4 = -4

x = - 4 - 4

Solution obtained:

x = -8

▶Solution:

x = {-8, 0}
