How do I solve?

Question

solve the equation by graphing.

Check your solutions.

∣2x − 6 ∣ = ∣x ∣

Answer 1

graph y=|2x-6| abd y=|x|

and see where they intersect

the x coordinate of any intersection point is the answer(s) you want

to check plug the x value(s) into the given equation and see if left side = right side

x=2, 6 as intersection points are (2,2) and (6,6)

|2(2)-6|

= |4-6|

= |-2|

=2 = |2| = the right side

|2(6)-6|

= 6 = |6| = the right side
