Consider the absolute-value equation 2(|×+8|+2)=4
How many solutions are there to the equation?​

one solution; x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

divide by 2 first to get:

|x + 8| + 2 = 2

|x + 8| = 0

x = -8

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
