Problem

Calculate the equation
\$ | x + 6 | = | x - 6 | \$

Formula:

By using formula

\$ | x | = | x |\$

Hint

By removing mod we get(+) or (-)

\$x=x (or) x=-x \$

Step

By simplifying we get

\$ x + 6 = x - 6 (or) x + 6 = -( x - 6 ) = - x + 6 \$

Step

Move 'x' variable terms right hand side and constant terms left hand side

\$ x - x = - 6 - 6 (or) x + x = 6 - 6 \$

Step

After simplification we get

\$ 0 = -12 (or) 2x = 0 \$

Step

Dividing on both sides by '2' we get

\$ \cancel2^1/\cancel2^1x = 0/2 = 0 \$

Step

After cancellation we get

\$ x = 0 \$
