∣ 3 x + 5 ∣ = 11

x = - \frac{16}{3} or x = 2

Decimal Notation

x = - 5.33333 \dots, x = 2

Solution steps

∣ 3 x + 5 ∣ = 11

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

3 x + 5 = - 11 or 3 x + 5 = 11

3 x + 5 = - 11 or 3 x + 5 = 11

x = - \frac{16}{3} or x = 2

2 ∣ x - 4 ∣ - 5 = 11 - 13

∣ - 5 x - 9 ∣ = 4

x^{2} - 5 x = 6 - x^{2}

x^{3} ∣ x + 3 ∣ = 12

- 7 = \frac{a - 3}{- 2}
