Question

pls find the solution set of 3|x-5|=|2x-10|

Answer 1

First take x = positive..

3(x - 5) = (2x - 10)

3x - 15 = 2x - 10

x = 5

Now take x = negative ie -x

3(-x - 5) = 2(-x) - 10

-3x - 15 = -2x - 10

-x = 5

x = -5 is the answer...

Answer 2

why isn't it 3(-x - 5) = -(2x-10) ?

Answer 3

I just did not consider that one..

Ya it can be...

Answer 4

By solving them what are the values you are getting??

Answer 5

-5 cant be it... Try it
