|2x-3| + 1 = 6.

OpenStudy (legends):

Well first we know that 2x-3 has to equal to 5

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

2x-3 = 6 2x-3= -6

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

sorry wrongly written

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

it was +5 and - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Legends true

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

solve for each

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would be the first step?

OpenStudy (legends):

So what - 3 equals 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still a little lost

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

2x=3+5 2x= 8 x= 8/2 x=4

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

then for - 5

OpenStudy (legends):

Yup @DominantVampire thats it

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

for -5 im sure u can do it yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you plug in or no?

Nnesha (nnesha):

@tatyanna1402 first step is subtract 1 "both side "

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

isolate the x when you do for -5 like we did above

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

2x=3-5 2x=2 x=2/2 x+1

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

x=1**

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

s0 (4,1)

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

forgot the - sign

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

it'd be -1 as 3-5 = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5|x|+3=18
