Answer 1

if

|9x+2| = |x-5|

then

9x+2 = x-5 or 9x+2 = -(x-5)

solve each for x

Answer 2

i have tried i cant get it

Answer 3

ok I'll solve 9x+2 = x-5 for you and hopefully that's enough to get you started


9x+2 = x-5


9x = x-5-2


9x-x = -5-2


8x = -7


x = -7/8


So one solution is x = -7/8

Answer 4

I'll let you solve the second equation

Answer 5

would it be 3/10?

Answer 6

that is correct

Answer 7

the two solutions are 3/10, -7/8
