Question

one last one because i suck at absolute value.

2|3x-5|-8=8

Answer 1

first add 8 to both sides
then divide both sides by 2

you will be left with the equation

|3x-5| = C where C is some number

now split this up into 2 equations and solve them

3x - 5 = C and 3x - 5 = -C

Answer 2

whats yo number?

Answer 3

x = 13/3

Answer 4

3x - 5 = 8
and 3x - 5 = -8

Answer 5

x = 13/3 is one root

Answer 6

what is the other?

Answer 7

it has only one solution which is 13/3

Answer 8

No the other solution is -1

Answer 9

2(|3x−5|)−8=8

Add 8 to both sides.

2(|3x−5|)−8+8=8+8

2(|3x−5|)=16

Divide both sides by 2.

2(|3x−5|) / 2 = 16/2

|3x−5|=8

Solve Absolute Value.

|3x−5|=8

We know either 3x−5=8 or 3x−5=−8

3x−5=8

3x−5+5=8+5

3x=13

3x/3 = 13/3 (Divide both sides by 3)

x= 13 / 3

3x−5=−8

3x−5+5=−8+5(Add 5 to both sides)

3x=−3

3x/3 = −3 / 3 (Divide both sides by 3)

x=−1

So ur answer is x = 13/3 or x = -1
