Solve the following equation. |x − 12| + 6 = 56

x = 62, -38   <-- there would be 2 answers because it's an absolute value equation

Step-by-step explanation:

|x − 12| + 6 = 56

          - 6  =  - 6

    |x − 12|  =   50

        Positive side:

       |x − 12|  =   50    <--- remove absolute value sign

       x - 12 = 50    <--- another side would be the negative side:  x - 12 = - 50

        + 12 =  + 12

            x  =  62    <--- 1st answerrr!!

        Negative side:

         x - 12 = -50

            + 12 = + 12

                x  = -38     <--- 2nd answerrr!!
