Question

Solve for x: 3|x − 3| + 2 = 14

No solutions

x = −1, x = 8.3

x = 0, x = 7

x = −1, x = 7

Answer 1

I'm starting to do that in math YAY!

Answer 2

First you have to get the absolute value by itself on one side.

3|x-3| + 2 = 14
3|x-3| = 12
|x-3| = 4

Then you solve for the negative and positive of the right side.

x-3=4
x=7

x-3=-4
x=-1

So x = 7 or -1
