∣ 5 x + 3 ∣ = 17

x = - 4 or x = \frac{14}{5}

Solution steps

∣ 5 x + 3 ∣ = 17

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

5 x + 3 = - 17 or 5 x + 3 = 17

5 x + 3 = - 17 or 5 x + 3 = 17

x = - 4 or x = \frac{14}{5}

36 y^{2} - 1

\frac{1.4}{3} (1.3 + 4 (1.6) + 2 (1.8) + 4 (1.9) + 2 (2.2) + 4 (2.3) + 2.1)

(x^{2} - 16)^{2}

(\frac{39}{2})^{2} - (\frac{15}{2})^{2} = x^{2}

\frac{( - 3 ) ^{2} - 2 x - 4}{- 2} > - 4
