(|x+1|)/2 =8

\frac{∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} = 8

x = - 17 or x = 15

Solution steps

\frac{∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} = 8

Multiply both sides by

2

∣ x + 1 ∣ = 16

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

x + 1 = - 16 or x + 1 = 16

x + 1 = - 16 or x + 1 = 16

x = - 17 or x = 15

∣ 5 x + 4 ∣ = ∣ 8 x - 1 ∣

∣ 2 x - 3 ∣ = ∣ 2 x - 5 ∣

x, x^{2} + x = 6 x + 6

∣ 7 - 4 b ∣ = 5

2 ∣ x - 6 ∣ + 14 = 38
