Question

Solve: |2n - 3| = 5

Answer 1

there are 2 equations to solve

2n - 3 = 5 and 2n - 3 = -5

hope this helps

Answer 2

so which one of these can it be?





A.

{-1, 4}





B.

{1, 4}





C.

{-1, 1}





D.

{1, -4}

Answer 3

Well, let's solve the equations.

\[2n - 3 = 5\]
If you want to get \(n\) all alone on the left, what should you do first?

Answer 4

add 2 on both sides?

Answer 5

3*

Answer 6

Adding 3 to both sides would be a good start:
\[2n-3+3 = 5 +3 \]\[2n=8\]Now what?

Answer 7

divide 2 with 8?

Answer 8

Divide both sides by 2...

Answer 9

yes then it will be n=4?

Answer 10

Yes. So that's half of the problem done. Now we need to solve the other one:
\[2n -3 = -5\]How would you go about it?

Answer 11

add -3 on both sides

Answer 12

1ST 1 .2n-3=5
or,2n=5+3
or,2n=8
so,n=4 easy
then 2n-3=-5
or,2n=-5+3
or,2n=-2
so.n=-1 ans

Answer 13

I would add 3 to both sides:
\[2n - 3 + 3 = -5 + 3\]\[2n = -2\]
\[n =\]
