help me please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|x| = a
implies
x = +a
or, x = -a

i only got the first answer which is 11/8 but there is a second answer and i cant get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cud u show me how did u get the first one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4|4-3x|=4x+6
16-12x=4x+6
+12x with 4x
+16 with the 6
16x/16=22/16
x=11/8

nah u did it wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now i cant get the second answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wat
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait then how did u do it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
16-12x=4x+6
12x + 4x = 16 - 6
16x = 10
x = 10/16 = 5/8

clear?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes so then how would you get the solution for the second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the only choices with 5/8 is x=5/8 or x= 11/8
x=5/8 or x=11/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the other one has a negative sign so i figured that's not it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
cant u use the same method u used for the other one with this one?
it's the same process right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or since it's a different part of the problem would u have to use a different method?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
