Question

solve for x: 3|x-3|+2=14

Answer 1

\[3|x-3|+2=14\]
\[3(x-3)+2=14\]
\[3x-9=14\]
\[3x=23\]
\[x=23/3\]

Answer 2

we have taken |x-3|as positive

Answer 3

@mathslover you seem to have omitted 2 ;)

first subtract 2 from both sides

3|x+3| = 12

now divide both sides by 3

|x+3| = 4

now solve for x when:

x + 3 = 4

AND

x + 3 = -4

do you get it @catstar98 ?
