ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

all incorrect, work them again all are incorrect due to a slight error in sign i can see that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i switch the signs?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for first question see that, negative is there on left side also

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so it cancels the right side negative, making abs value +ve. so u will have solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the first answer?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

-3| x-3| = -6 divide -3 both sides |x-3| = 2 x-3 = 2, x-3 = -2 x = 5, x = 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that makes some sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 can u tell me wat i did wrong with the other 2?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sure :) for second problem x-3 > 5 x > 8 you're right its an OPEN circle, but it shades RIGHT.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i forgot to switch the sign?
