Question

Identify the solution to the equation 2 |3x -5| = 8

Answer 1

first of all u must remember that if there is a unknown value in the mod then the value will come both in positive or negative.

Answer 2

So I would leave the 2 out of the equation until I solve for X in the absolute value?

Answer 3

so,
case I:2(3x-5)=8
6x-10=8
6x=8+10
6x=18
x=18/6=3

Answer 4

case II:2(-(3x-5))=8
2(-3x+5)=8
-6x+10=8
-6x=8-10
-6x=-2
x=-2/-6=1/3

Answer 5

hence,x=3 & 1/3.
