no...what do you get when you divide 3 by 12??...not 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not quit there yet.
(3x-2)-3=13
(3x-2)=16
3x-2=16
3x=16+2
3x=18
x=18/3
also because it is absolute value you need to
3x-2=-16
3x=-16+2
3x=-14
x=-14/3

i mean 12 by 3...

@dewsters..when you are doing absolute value, you actually take your constant to other side 1st, like she di. She just did her last step(division) wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got \[\frac{ 18 }{ 3 }\] but inst4ead of leaving like that i divided and got 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
refer to what @dewsters has posted above. There are two solutions and he explains how to get them. They do seem correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@mel2166734 no it is an absolute value equation which makes the equation have 2 answers
