x = - \frac{11}{3} or x = 3

Decimal Notation

x = - 3.66666 \dots, x = 3

Solution steps

2 ∣ 3 x + 1 ∣ = 20

Divide both sides by

2

∣ 3 x + 1 ∣ = 10

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

3 x + 1 = - 10 or 3 x + 1 = 10

3 x + 1 = - 10 or 3 x + 1 = 10

x = - \frac{11}{3} or x = 3

(x - 12) 4 = 36
