|x-3|=8

∣ x - 3 ∣ = 8

x = - 5 or x = 11

Solution steps

∣ x - 3 ∣ = 8

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

x - 3 = - 8 or x - 3 = 8

x - 3 = - 8 or x - 3 = 8

x = - 5 or x = 11

\frac{- 12 x ^{- 9} y ^{10}}{4 x ^{- 12} y ^{7}}

x^{2} + 5 x - 4 = 0

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1) - \frac{2}{3} (x + 1) = 1

6 - 2 (- 2 h + 1) \leq 5 h + 5 + h

\frac{1}{2} t^{2} - 25 = 0
