Help ?
What about the last problem? Have you finished it?
Yes, i got -11 and 17
Hint: Start by subtracting 4 from both sides. What do you obtain by doing that?
um 13 on the right
Yes. You have an equation here (right?) I'm asking you to subtract 4 from the left side and to subtract 4 from the right side. What does the whole equation look like now?
Yes, the right side is now 13. Left side?
would i subtract both -3 and 2?
Not yet. Please write |2x-3|=13. Sound correct to you?
yea
Now solve this most recent equation in exactly the same way you solve the previous one. Write out 2 separate equations from |2x-3|=13.
um how would i do that
ooo ok
Could you refer to our past discussion?
yaya hold up
Write +(2x-3)=13 and -(2x-3)=13. Solve both.
-5 and 8
Please check your answers. For example, let x=8 in the original equation. Is the original equation now true? Also check x=-5.
o im wrong?
I certainly did not say that or mean that. I want you to get into the habit of checking your own answers whenever possible. Actually, I'm assuming you're right.
o mk
What's 'mk' represent?
ok..
Oh. "mk" is pronounced "ok?" ;) ;)
Thank you so much for the medal.
