Question

Could someone help me solve this, please? I don't know how to solve it.
2|3x – 5| – 8 = 8

Answer 1

Try the equation
9x^2-30x+25 = 144

Answer 2

2|3x – 5| – 8 = 8

Add 8 to both sides to get
2|3x - 5| = 8 + 8
2|3x - 5| = 16

Divide both sides by two to get:
|3x - 5| = 16/2
|3x - 5| = 8

Finish solving from there.

Answer 3

Thanks so much! xxx

Answer 4

8|x+3/4|<2
So far I have x<-1/2 But, I'm not sure of the other answer

Answer 5

\[2|3x – 5| – 8 = 8 \]

\[2(3x – 5) – 8 = \pm 8 \]

Answer 6

@yahoo, don't do things the hard way bro

Answer 7

8|x+3/4|<2

This is a different problem, right?

Answer 8

Nevermind I got -1

Answer 9

And yes, it was.

Answer 10

All you have to do is divide both sides by 8:

|x+3/4|<2/8

Then use property of absolute value to get
x+3/4<±2/8

Answer 11

A furniture maker uses the specification 19.88 ≤ w ≤ 20.12 for the width w in inches of a desk drawer. Write the specification as an absolute value inequality. (1 point)
|w – 0.24| ≤ 20.12
|w – 20| ≤ 0.12
|w – 20| ≤ 0.24
|w – 0.12| ≤ 20

Could you help me with this one?

Answer 12

You have to start with the answer choices, then see which one gets you
19.88 ≤ w ≤ 20.12

Answer 13

Anytime you have something like |x - a| < b, then you can re-write it as
-b < x - a < b

Answer 14

Then solve from there

Answer 15

So if you have to solve |x - 4| < 6

|x - 4| < 6
-6 < x - 4 < 6
-6 + 4 < x < 6 + 4
-2 < x < 10
