Question

|3x - 4| - 8 = 6

Answer 1

solve for x?

Answer 2

I think. The solution should have two answers

Answer 3

ill try my best. [3x-4]= 6 +8.... 12x = 14............. x=14-12 .....x = 2?

Answer 4

yes you will have two solutions ons neg and one pos i think

Answer 5

i know one of them is 6, but not -6. u will need to set two cases up

Answer 6

i was wrong. im sorry

Answer 7

its ok ya know..u showed your work good!

Answer 8

i think i was doing a differant kind of problem

Answer 9

First because
|3x - 4| - 8 = 6

we know that
|3x - 4| = 14 --- (*)

Now if 3x - 4 > 0, then |3x - 4| = 3x - 4, hence in that case the equation (*) implies
3x - 4 = 14 --- (1)

On the other hand, if 3x - 4 < 0, then |3x - 4| = -(3x-4) = -3x + 4, and equation (*) implies
-3x + 4 = 14 --- (2)

So what you need to do now is solve each of the equations, (1) and (2)

Answer 10

Make sense?
