x = - \frac{13}{6} or x = \frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

x = - 2.16666 \dots, x = 0.5

Solution steps

∣ 6 x + 5 ∣ = 8

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

6 x + 5 = - 8 or 6 x + 5 = 8

6 x + 5 = - 8 or 6 x + 5 = 8

x = - \frac{13}{6} or x = \frac{1}{2}

∣ k + 1 ∣ + 2 = 8

9 + 12 n

\frac{2 - 3 x}{5} \geq 2

\frac{4}{7} + \frac{2}{3}

9 k^{2} - k - 1 = 3 k^{2}
