y = - 1 or y = \frac{31}{3}

Decimal Notation

y = - 1, y = 10.33333 \dots

Solution steps

17 = ∣ 3 y - 14 ∣

Switch sides

∣ 3 y - 14 ∣ = 17

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

3 y - 14 = - 17 or 3 y - 14 = 17

3 y - 14 = - 17 or 3 y - 14 = 17

y = - 1 or y = \frac{31}{3}

x, ∣ x ∣ - y = 5

2 ∣ x - 3 ∣ = x + 1

∣ 6 - 5 v ∣ + 2 = 1

9 - 7 ∣ 3 - 6 x ∣ = - 12

∣ x - 24 ∣ = 8
