solve the equation |-6x|=30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have already isolated the absolute value, so \[\left| -6x \right|=6x\] Then divide 30/6 \[x =5\]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u have to use this theorem \[ \large |a|=b\quad\Leftrightarrow\quad a=\pm b \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

so |-6x|=30 becomes \[ \large -6x=30\quad\text{or}\quad -6x=-30 \]
