Question

Solve 9|9-8x|=2x+3

Answer 1

What's your plan?

There is something really important about 9 - 8x = 0 or x = 9/8. What is so important about that?

Answer 2

Multiply 9 to 9-8x?

Answer 3

No, don't do that. No need to make it more complicated.

Answer 4

I don't remember):

Answer 5

Make 2 of them?

Answer 6

Maybe. How?

Answer 7

I've never done one with something on the outside so I'm confused

Answer 8

Can you do the first step maybe I can do it after that?

Answer 9

Okay, then divide by 9 and it will be like your previous experience, right?

\(|9-8x|=\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{1}{3}\)

Answer 10

I have no idea how you did that. I'm not used to that?

Answer 11

I helped someone solve this problem earlier today.

Answer 12

You don't know how to divide by 9?

Answer 13

Yes I do but never mind.
