Answer:
x = -2
x=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
5 | x+7| +14 = 39
Subtract 14 from each side
5 | x+7| +14-14 = 39-14
5 | x+7| = 25
Divide each side by 5
5 | x+7| /5 = 25/5
| x+7| = 5
Make two equations, one positive and one negative
x+7 =5 x+7 = -5
Subtract 7 from each side
x+7-7 = 5-7 x+7-7 = -5-7
x = -2 x=-12
