3 ∣ y + 2 ∣ = 2

y = - \frac{8}{3} or y = - \frac{4}{3}

Decimal Notation

y = - 2.66666 \dots, y = - 1.33333 \dots

Solution steps

3 ∣ y + 2 ∣ = 2

Divide both sides by

3

∣ y + 2 ∣ = \frac{2}{3}

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

y + 2 = - \frac{2}{3} or y + 2 = \frac{2}{3}

y + 2 = - \frac{2}{3} or y + 2 = \frac{2}{3}

y = - \frac{8}{3} or y = - \frac{4}{3}

\frac{1 - x}{3} = 9

\frac{1 - x}{3} = 5

4 2 x^{7} = 16

4 ∣ 3 y - 3 ∣ = 0

∣ 3 x - 5 ∣ = 2 x + 1
