Question

Solve |2y - 2| = y
There should be a solution set. Solve |2y - 2| = y
There should be a solution set. @Mathematics

Answer 1

positive case 2y -2 =y
y=2

negative case
-2y + 2 = y
3y=-2
y = -2/3

ss = 2, -2/3

Answer 2

y can't be negative
|something| can't have a negative output

Answer 3

just y=2 is solution

Answer 4

oops ... forgot to check

Answer 5

on no myininaya!

Answer 6

y cannot be negative, but
\[2y-2\] can be negative in which case
\[|2y-2|=2-2y\]

Answer 7

so you really do get both solutions
\[y=2,y=\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 8

and you can check them both to see that they work!

Answer 9

i was just checking his solutions i did not actually solve it

Answer 10

next you will be saying it is a typo!

Answer 11

no for real i didn't solve it lol

Answer 12

that is what i say anyway...

Answer 13
