Answer 1

Answer:

x=-2 and -32/3

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x+19|=13

3x+19=13 and 3x+19=-13

x=-2 and x=-32/3

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -2                       x = -32/3

Step-by-step explanation:

| 3x+19 | =13

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

3x+19 = 13      3x+19 = -13

Subtract 19

3x+19-19 = 13-19      3x+19 -19 =-13-19

3x = -6                     3x = -32

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -6/3             3x/3 = -32/3

x = -2                       x = -32/3
