Need help in Algebra II! Will give medals!

Answer 1

Whatcha need?

Answer 2

Solve the absolute value equation.
2/3 l5x+3l + 2 = 4

Answer 3

Okay, next time put your problem in your title so that you know what you're getting into. Okay so just to make sure I am correct it is: 2 divided by 3 times the absolute value of 5x plus 3 plus 2 equals four. Is that right?

Answer 4

Yeah, thats right.

Answer 5

Okay so what do you do first?

Answer 6

Hold that thought, finding my calculator.. lol

Answer 7

Okay lol

Answer 8

I think I would multiply the 2/3 into the 5x and the 3 first.. but I'm not sure..

Answer 9

order of operations say exponents parenthesis and absolute value is counted as a parentheses so you will do whats inside of the absolute value first

Answer 10

Okay.. but you can't add 3 to 5x can you??...

Answer 11

Right. So pretending those are parentheses what would you do?

Answer 12

multiply 2/3 into 5x and into 3, so you would get |10/3x + 2.|

Answer 13

Im trying to explain without confusing you lol yeah that is right. Do you know what is next?

Answer 14

No, I have no idea what would come next.

I thought maybe take the 20 away from the left side by subtracting it from the 4.. but I'm not sure about that either..

Answer 15

I would probably subtract 2 from both sides to get it gone

Answer 16

x=6 lol

Answer 17
