Solve l2y-2l = 15

OpenStudy (surana):

\[\left| 2y-2 \right|=15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Abs(2y-2)=15

OpenStudy (surana):

So do I add two, divide by two?

OpenStudy (shamim):

|x|=x or -x

OpenStudy (shamim):

So |2|=2 or -2 Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to split the equation into 2 possible cases

OpenStudy (surana):

I'll put the -2 with the 15, which should be 13, meaning abs(2y) = 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y-2=15 and 2y-2=-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now solve those 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you should get 2 solutions

OpenStudy (surana):

Y = 7.5 for the first one and Y = -8.5 for the second?

OpenStudy (shamim):

No
