Math Problem Statement

∣2−2x∣−6=0

Solution

To solve the equation 22x6=0|2 - 2x| - 6 = 0, let's proceed step by step.

Step 1: Isolate the absolute value expression

22x6=0|2 - 2x| - 6 = 0 Add 6 to both sides: 22x=6|2 - 2x| = 6

Step 2: Break down the absolute value equation

An absolute value equation A=B|A| = B means that AA can either be BB or B-B. So we have two cases:

  1. 22x=62 - 2x = 6
  2. 22x=62 - 2x = -6

Step 3: Solve each case separately

Case 1: 22x=62 - 2x = 6

Subtract 2 from both sides: 2x=4-2x = 4 Divide by -2: x=2x = -2

Case 2: 22x=62 - 2x = -6

Subtract 2 from both sides: 2x=8-2x = -8 Divide by -2: x=4x = 4

Step 4: Final solution

The solutions are x=2x = -2 and x=4x = 4.
