Solution steps

9 = ∣ - 3 a + 5 ∣

Switch sides

∣ - 3 a + 5 ∣ = 9

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

- 3 a + 5 = - 9 or - 3 a + 5 = 9

- 3 a + 5 = - 9 or - 3 a + 5 = 9

a = - \frac{4}{3} or a = \frac{14}{3}

20 = 2 - 2 ∣ - 4 v - 5 ∣

∣ y - 4 ∣ + 9 = 13

∣ - f ∣ - 5 = 19

∣ d + 5 ∣ = 1

∣ 4 x + 5 ∣ = 9
