x = - \frac{1}{2} or x = \frac{11}{2}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.5, x = 5.5

Solution steps

∣ 2 x - 5 ∣ = 6

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

2 x - 5 = - 6 or 2 x - 5 = 6

2 x - 5 = - 6 or 2 x - 5 = 6

x = - \frac{1}{2} or x = \frac{11}{2}

Y = 0 - 5

\frac{2 ( \frac{8}{15} )}{1 - ( \frac{8}{15} ) ^{2}}

10 x^{3} - 35 x^{2} + 6 x - 21

7 (y + 2) = 42

\frac{( - \frac{1}{2} )}{( \frac{3}{2} )}
