Amanda and Joyce spent 3 1/3 hours at the lake. For 1/3 of that time, they went fishing. What equation can be used to find the amount of time they spent fishing? 1/3/ 3 1/1 A 1/3 + 3 1/3 B 1/3- 3 1/3 C 1/3 x 3 1/3 D

x = -2, x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing the equation is 4|x+5| - 6 = 6. When there's an absolute value sign in the equation, we have two possible outcomes as |x| can be equal to x or -x. Thus, we have two values of x for which the equation will be true. Let's first split the equation into two:

Now, solve both; first equation:

Second one:

Thus, 4|x+5| - 6 = 6 has two real solutions: {x: x = -2, -8}
