Question 239797: |9x + 9| = 18

You can put this solution on YOUR website! x=1
.
As we know, all absolute values will yield a positive result.
If 9+9=18, then the first 9 can only be mulitplied by one in order to stay the same and yield the answer given... 18.
.
Remember: if you are ever given an equation that says the absolute value of anything equals a negative number, your response would be: "there is no solution". If you are given a positive result, solve the equation for the variable.

Hope this helps.
