Question

Solve for x: l 3x+19 l = 13

Answer 1

\[|3x+19|=13\] solve two equations
\[3x+19=13\] or
\[3x+19=-13
\]

Answer 2

first one is
\[3x+19=13\]
\[3x=13-19=-6\]
\[x=\frac{-6}{2}=-3\]

Answer 3

second one is
\[3x+19=-13\]
\[3x=-13-19=-32\]
\[x=-\frac{32}{3}\]

Answer 4

so x = -2 right?

Answer 5

yeah my mistake! x = -2 is one solution

Answer 6

\[3x=-6\]
\[x=\frac{-6}{3}=-2\]

Answer 7

second solution is \[3x=-32\]
\[x=-\frac{32}{3}\]

Answer 8

there are two solutions
