∣ 5 x - 1 ∣ = 2

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

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.2, x = 0.6

Solution steps

∣ 5 x - 1 ∣ = 2

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

5 x - 1 = - 2 or 5 x - 1 = 2

5 x - 1 = - 2 or 5 x - 1 = 2

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

(2 x + 3) (x - 3) > (x - 1) (3 x + 2)

x^{2} - 7 x - 11 = 0

x^{2} + 20 x + 103 = 0

(16 x)^{\frac{1}{2}} (6 x^{\frac{1}{4}})

x^{2} + 2 x - 48 = 0
