|12x + 1| = 10
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
12x +1 = 10
12x +1 = -10
Now solve for both x values:
12x +1 = 10
Subtract 1 from both sides:
12x = 9
Divide both sides by 12:
x = 9/12
12x +1 = -10
Subtract 1 from both sides:
12x = -11
Divide both sides by 12:
x = -11/12
The answer would be (-11/12, 912)
