Question

What is the solution set of the equation below? 3|5 − x| + 2 = 29

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-4

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Value Equation entered :

     3|5-x|+2=29

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equalitiy entered

     3|-x+5|+2 = 29

Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.

     3|-x+5| = 27

STEP

2

:

Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is 3|-x+5|

For the Negative case we'll use -3(-x+5)

For the Positive case we'll use 3(-x+5)

STEP

3

:

Solve the Negative Case

     -3(-x+5) = 27

    Multiply

     3x-15 = 27

    Rearrange and Add up

     3x = 42

    Divide both sides by 3

     x = 14

STEP

4

:

Solve the Positive Case

     3(-x+5) = 27

    Multiply

     -3x+15 = 27

    Rearrange and Add up

     -3x = 12

    Divide both sides by 3

     -x = 4

    Multiply both sides by (-1)

     x = -4

    Which is the solution for the Positive Case

STEP

5

:

Wrap up the solution

x=14

x=-4
