k has to equal 7 to make that true

2x+2=16 2x=14 x=7
Therefore the value of k is 7

The values of k that satisfy the equation ∣2 k + 2∣ = 16 are 7 and − 9 . This is found by solving the absolute value equation in two cases: one for the positive and one for the negative scenario. Therefore, k can equal either of these two values.
