solve |x/3+1|= 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean this equation ?\[\left| \frac{ x }{ 3 }+1 \right|=6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is eassyy i know you can do this xD just eliminate everything except for x :) 6-1=5 now you have x/3=5 multiply 5x3 and you get 15 which is your answer :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first we explicite the module=>\[\left| \frac{ x }{ 3 }+1 \right|=\left[\begin{matrix}\frac{ x }{ 3 }+1 (if),\frac{ x }{ 3 } +1>0 \\ \frac{ -x }{ 3 } -1 (if),\frac{ x }{ 3 }+1<0\end{matrix}\right]\] I.if \[\frac{ x }{ 3 }+1>0\]=>x/3>-1=>x>-3=>x/3=5=>X=15 II.-x/3-1=6=>-x/3=7=>X=-21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember you eliminate numbers by canceling them out :) @ifrimpanainte thats so confusing :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

confusing or not you're answer is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X can be either 15 either -21
