Let's first simplify the equation |2x + b = a by considering two cases: Case 1: 2x + b>0 In this case, 2x + b = 2x + b, so the equation becomes 2x + b = a, which can be rearranged to solve for x as . (1) x = a-b 2 ***..... Case 2: 2x + b < 0 In this case, 2x + b = - (2x + b), - (2x + b) = a, which can be rearranged to solve for x as x = so the equation becomes : b-a 2 (2) ? Why don't, X = -a-b 2

Compare the two image i send, please calculate the true answer. why -(2x+b)=a,  can to be x = b-a/2 in cases 2. I mark the problem with red color. This complete question thank u

Let's first simplify the equation |2x + b =
Case 1: 2x + b>0
In this case, 2x + b = 2x + b,
so the equation becomes 2x + b = a,
which can be rearranged to solve for x as
X =
a-b

...
Case 2: 2x + b < 0
In this case, 2x + b =
= a by considering two cases:
(2x + b),
- (2x + b) = a,
so the equation becomes :
which can be rearranged to solve for x as
X =
