Question

|6x-7| = 6- |x-3|

since it's in abs value, would it be -7-3 or 7+3? <-- when I add over |x-3|

Answer 1

7+3 as absolute value do not take the minus sign

Answer 2

so I would end up with 7x+10=6 instead of 7x-10=6?

Answer 3

isn't it supposed to be 6x - 7 + x - 3 = -6?

Answer 4

that's what i was thinking too

Answer 5

where did the -6 come from?

Answer 6

you make the right side negative

Answer 7

to make the absolute value disappear*

Answer 8

!!

Answer 9

so sorry i made it worse >.<"

Answer 10

what... how did you get -6? don't I just add -|x+3| over?

Answer 11

yes

|6x - 7| + |x-3| = 6

then, to make the absolute values disappear, you multiply the right side by -1

Answer 12

i understand now
