HELP PLEASEEEEEEEE


What are the solutions to the equation |2x -3| + 4 = 17?


x = 8 only

x = -8 or x = 5

x = -5 or x = 8

x = 12 only

Answer 1

17 - 4 = 13

Answer 2

- 3 = 12

Answer 3

12 / 2 = 6

Answer 4

therefore x must equal.................?

Answer 5

subtract 4 from both sides of the equation and you get

\[\left| 2x - 3 \right| = 13\]

now you have 2 equations to solve because it an absolute value

2x - 3 = 13 and 2x - 3 = -13

hope it helps

Answer 6

or what that dude said
