-3|6m-3|=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, get the absolute value by itself. you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there an answer option for this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea like this julian |6m-3|=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure i did it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite. -3*|6m-3|=9 to get rid of something that is being multiplied, you divide both sides by it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in this case, you'll divide both sides by -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like this\[|6m-3|-3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|6m-3|=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, an absolute value's answer will always be positive, so |6m-3|=-3 has no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!!
