Question

2I3x-1I+2=10?

Answer 1

Equation: \(213x-11+2=10\)
Is it?

Answer 2

those are absolute value bars....not ones

Answer 3

2 | 3x + 1 | + 2 = 10....is that the problem ?

Answer 4

Which are the absolute value bars? Hard to tell

Answer 5

oops....3x - 1 in the bars

Answer 6

2 | 3x - 1 | + 2 = 10 --- subtract 2 from both sides
2 | 3x - 1 | = 8 --- divide both sides by 2
| 3x - 1 | = 4

3x - 1 = 4
3x = 4 + 1
3x = 5
x = 5/3

-(3x - 1) = 4
-3x + 1 = 4
-3x = 4 - 1
-3x = 3
x = -1

x = 5/3 and x = -1

Answer 7

the 3 X-1 are in the absolute vaule bars

Answer 8

you want to get the absolute value bars (and everything in them) on one side of the equal sign, and everything else on the other side
