|2x-8| + 3 = 5 two solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The two solutions are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a

Let us solve the question using this fact

∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3

∴ I2x - 8I = 2

By using the fact above

→ 1st solution

∵ 2x - 8 = 2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

∴ 2x = 10

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 5

→ 2nd solution

∵ 2x - 8 = -2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8

∴ 2x = 6

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 3

∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
