Someone help I have been stuck on this for 7 months now and haven't seen the sun in years

For what values of x is x2 + 2x = 24 true?

Does anyone know how to solve and graph this: 4 + | a + 2 | < 7the only part i don't get is the "4 +"

Ialready asked this but i never got an answer. will give a high rating and perhaps brainliest. choose the linear inequality that describes the graph. the gray area represents the shaded region. y ≤ –4x – 2 y > –4x – 2 y ≥ –4x – 2 y < 4x – 2
