Solve for

|k + 7| = 3

Absolute value is the distance of a number from 0.

k added to 7 can give 3 or - 3.

So, k can be - 10 or - 4.

| (-10) + 7|=3

k=-4 or k=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

|k+7|=3

Solve Absolute Value.

|k+7|=3

We know either k+7=3ork+7=-3

k+7=3 (Possibility 1)

k+7-7=3-7 (Subtract 7 from both sides)

k=-4

k+7=-3 (Possibility 2)

k+7-7=-3-7 (Subtract 7 from both sides)

k=-10
