Question

What is the answer to this equation? Algebra 1 . |10-6r| -3 = 13 ??

Answer 1

Answer:

r = -1 or r = 13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for r over the real numbers:

abs(10 - 6 r) = 16

Split the equation into two possible cases:

10 - 6 r = 16 or 10 - 6 r = -16

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-6 r = 6 or 10 - 6 r = -16

Divide both sides by -6:

r = -1 or 10 - 6 r = -16

Subtract 10 from both sides:

r = -1 or -6 r = -26

Divide both sides by -6:

Answer: r = -1 or r = 13/3
