Question

Solve the absolute value equation. Graph the solution. 2|3x-5|-8 =8

Answer 1

first isolate the absolute values
so add 8 to both sides
so that 2|3x - 5| = 16 then divide both sides by 2
/2 /2
so |3x - 5| = 8

then understand that |a| = b
can be separated into a = b and a = -b

so |3x - 5| = 8 can be separated into
3x - 5 = 8 and 3x - 5 = -8
you would then solve for x for each :)
