Question

I need to solve the equation.
9|9 – 8x| = 2x + 3

Answer 1

x=6/5

Answer 2

check for yourself its right hun !

Answer 3

I need the work for the problem too

Answer 4

ohhh ok

Answer 5

x=39/37 = x=6/5

Answer 6

How do you get that answer?

Answer 7

My calculator :]

Answer 8

But, what are the steps? Haha

Answer 9

Oh lol idk my calculator just solved it . Sorry :/

Answer 10

Well, i have no clue how to do it.

Answer 11

two solutions 6/5 and 39/37
1 sec writting how to solve :x

Answer 12

always get the absolute value part alone on 1 side first
|9-8x| = (2x+3)/9

then split it into 2 cases, pos and neg
--> 9-8x = (2x+3)/9
and
--> 9-8x = -(2x+3)/9

solve each equation for x

Answer 13

|9-8x| -> (9-8x) and (8x-9)


9 (9 - 8x) = 2x + 3
81 - 72x = 2x + 3
78 = 74x
x = 78/74 = 39/37


9 (8x - 9) = 2x + 3
72x - 81 = 2x + 3
70x = 84
x = 84/70 = 6/5

Answer 14

THANK YOU GUYS FOR EXPLAINING IT =]

Answer 15

Thanks so muchh!

Answer 16

what bugs me though is...why write the answer *before* a solution? what's the point in that? o.O
