∣ 3 x - 8 ∣ = 1

x = \frac{7}{3} or x = 3

Decimal Notation

x = 2.33333 \dots, x = 3

Solution steps

∣ 3 x - 8 ∣ = 1

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

3 x - 8 = - 1 or 3 x - 8 = 1

3 x - 8 = - 1 or 3 x - 8 = 1

x = \frac{7}{3} or x = 3

5 x^{2} + 15 x - 20

7 x - 5 (x - 7) = 8 x - 13

4000 (1 + \frac{0.61}{365})^{365 \cdot 8}

6 - \frac{2}{3}

60 \geq 61 - h
