I am getting only two correct answers ,wait I will post
\[\huge \left| x^2-2x-8 \right|+\left| x^2+x+8 \right|=3\left| x+2 \right|\]
So I cancelled mod(x-2) and I get \[\huge \left| x-4 \right|+\left| x-1 \right|=3\]
Sorry, I'm back.
By solving this , I get answers as 1 and 4 but I don't get -2 which is also the answer
That's obviously because you cancelled \(|x+2|\) :P
yeah , I know but you can't do without that
I would instead take that common and then continue.
\[ \Large \left| x+2 \right|(\left| x-4 \right|\left| x-1 \right|)=3\left| x+2 \right|\]
Yeah, now take all of it on one side.
\[\Large \left| x+2 \right|(\left| x-4 \right|+x-1)-3\left| x+2 \right|=0\]
Now take |x+2| common.
oh I got it
And you should put a mod on |x-1| btw.
this equation tool sometimes is a pain , yeah
lol
