x = - \frac{1}{2} or x = 5

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.5, x = 5

Solution steps

∣ 4 x - 9 ∣ = 11

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

4 x - 9 = - 11 or 4 x - 9 = 11

4 x - 9 = - 11 or 4 x - 9 = 11

x = - \frac{1}{2} or x = 5

∣ 9 x - 5 ∣ = - 8

x^{2} + 7 + ∣ x - 3 ∣ = 6 x

\frac{x}{11} = 6

2.5 ∣ x + 0.6 ∣ = 8

3 = 10 + ∣ x ∣
