Help Please! Much appreciated!:)
Equation and Inequalities Involving Absolute Value

Find the solution set for the equation:

Answer 1

Please multiply by 4 to simplify your life.

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

Consider this: 2x + 8 = 0 leads to x = -4
Consider this: 3x - 8 = 0 leads to x = 8/3
Solve these three problems

For x < -4
-(2x + 8) = -(3x - 8)

For x > 8/3
(2x + 8) = (3x - 8)

For -4 < x < 8/3
(2x + 8) = -(3x - 8)

Absolute values? Simply figure out ho to get rid of them!

Answer 2

So 16,0
