Question

If 5|2x| = 60, then what are the values of x?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed { \boxed{x = \{6 , - 6 \}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• absolute value
• equation
• PEMDAS

tips and formulas:

• |a|=±a

let's solve:

1. $\sf divide \: bothe \: sides \: by \: 5 : \\ \frac{ 5|2x| }{5} = \frac{60}{5} \\ |2x| = 12$
2. $\sf seperate \: the \: equation \:in \: 2 \:parts : \\ \begin{cases}2x = 12 \\ \: 2x = - 12\end{cases}$
3. $\sf \: di vide \: both \: sides \: by \: 2 : \\ \begin{cases} \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2} \\ \: \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{ - 12}{2} \end{cases} \\ \therefore x = \{6 , - 6 \}$

Answer 2

I got x is equal to 6,-6
