directrix · Answer

I'll solve the first equation to help you get started. Then, you can do the second one.

|5x + 6| = 41  means this:

5x + 6 = 41  OR    5x + 6 = -41

5x = 35                         5x = -47

x = 7                                x = -47/5

directrix · Answer

For |5x + 6| = 41, there are two answers.

@fox11897   Your turn to find the answers for |2x + 13| = 28
