∣ 3 x - 3 ∣ = 8

x = - \frac{5}{3} or x = \frac{11}{3}

Solution steps

∣ 3 x - 3 ∣ = 8

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

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

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

x = - \frac{5}{3} or x = \frac{11}{3}

∣ 3 x + 9 ∣ - 10 = - 4

- x^{2} - ∣ x ∣ + 2 = 0

∣ 2 x + 9 ∣ + 7 = 3

∣ u ∣ = 5

∣ 5 - 6 x ∣ = - 2
