Question

What is the solution set of |2x - 3| - 10 = -1?

Answer 1

3y=-2x+6

Answer 2

How did you get that @jonjenkins7653 ?

Answer 3

y=-(2/3)x+2

Answer 4

Please provide an explanation and try to help the learner understand.

Answer 5

We can't help him at all if we just give him answers and no explanation.

Answer 6

I don't think that's right anyways.

Answer 7

I learned that first you isolate the absolute value part of the equation and then set up two different equations so you can get your two possible x values.

So first, add 10 to the both sides of the equation since that's the opposite of subtracting 10. Then your equation looks like this |2x - 3| = 9

Then you set up the two equations like this:
2x - 3 = 9 and 2x - 3 = -9
Then you solve both of them for x (which I assume you know how to do) and get your possible solutions. But I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for.

Answer 8

x = 6 and x = -3

Answer 9

Does that help?

Answer 10

Yes it does, thankyou so much @ababylizard

Answer 11

No problem. Glad to help. Good luck! :D
