You can put this solution on YOUR website!
| 3x + 2 | = 4
3x%2B2=4 or 3x%2B2=-4
3x%2B2-2=4-2 or 3x%2B2-2=-4-2
3x=2 or 3x=-6
3x%2F3=2%2F3 or 3x%2F3=-6%2F3
highlight%28x=2%2F3%29 or highlight%28x=-2%29
Check:
abs%283%282%2F3%29%2B2%29=4 or abs%283%28-2%29%2B2%29=4
abs%282%2B2%29=4 or abs%28-6%2B2%29=4
abs%284%29=4 or abs%28-4%29=4
4=4 or 4=4 We're right.
Happy Calculating!!!!
