2 |4x-3|-3=6

Question

I tried to work out this problem and got 4x-3=9/2.

Answer 1

Great start but you arent quite done.

 

1. you need to get the absolute value by itself (you did this already :) )

 |4x-3|=9/2

 

2. Now we split this into two equations because abs. value has two answers ex: |3|=3 and |-3|=3

 

so we need the positive equation and the negative equation

                         (4x-3)=9/2                    -(4x-3)=9/2

                          4x-3=9/2                       -4x+3=9/2

   

 

 

Finish solving each equation for x (you should get two answers). Then, as always check your answers by plugging them back into the original equation.
