Question

|2x – 3| = 11

Answer 1

2x-3=11
+3 +3
2x=11
x=5.5, or 11/2

Answer 2

Recall that absolute value is always positive. So, either the stuff inside the absolute value is equal to 11, or it is equal to negative 11, since the absolute value of -11 is 11. So:
\[2x-3=11\] or:
\[2x-3=-11\]Solve these two equations to get your solutions.
