(|n-8|)/5 =2

\frac{∣ n - 8 ∣}{5} = 2

n = - 2 or n = 18

Solution steps

\frac{∣ n - 8 ∣}{5} = 2

Multiply both sides by

5

∣ n - 8 ∣ = 10

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

n - 8 = - 10 or n - 8 = 10

n - 8 = - 10 or n - 8 = 10

n = - 2 or n = 18

∣ 5 n + 9 ∣ + 18 = 5

3 ∣ 3 x - 7 ∣ = 24

- 12 = - ∣ 6 f ∣

- 3 ∣ - 2 x - 2 ∣ = - 18

3 ∣ x ∣ - 4 = 11
