Solve the absolute value equation. |(6x+5)/3|= |-3|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Square both sides and then solve as a regular quadratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I get 7/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't actually done it, hang on a sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 2/3 and -7/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so by squaring both sides I got 36x^2 +30x -56 = 0, then solve that using the quadratic formulae gives those values above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank-you
