Question

Solve |8f+3|=5 for f. Show all work.

Answer 1

when you have a absolute value equation like that, it means

8f+3=5

8f+3=-5

now just solve for f, and you will end up with 2 values

Answer 2

So, 8f = -8 (so f = -1)?

Answer 3

for the 2nd one, yes, f=-1

now just solve the first one

Answer 4

What is the first one?

Answer 5

well if you can solve the 2nd one, use the same concepts for the first one

Answer 6

I'm not sure how to solve for another answer?

Answer 7

8f+3=5
-3 -3

8f=2

f=?

Answer 8

Oh. F = 4

Answer 9

now i got it. thanks!

Answer 10

hold on, it's not 4, lol.

8f=2

im gonna divide everything by 8 so i can f alone

f=2/8

Answer 11

oopsss 1/4

Answer 12
