Question

Help please!!! I don't understand

Answer 1

$\left|x-\dfrac 12\right| = 3\dfrac 23\\\\\\\implies \left|x- \dfrac 12 \right| = \dfrac{11}3\\\\\\\implies x-\dfrac 12 = \dfrac{11}3 ~~~~~~~~~ \text{or}~~~~~~~ x - \dfrac 12 = - \dfrac {11}3\\\\\\\implies 2x -1 = \dfrac{22}3 ~~~~~~~~ \text{or}~~~~~~~~2x-1 =-\dfrac{22}3$

$\implies x =\dfrac 12\left(\dfrac{22}3 +1 \right) ~~ \text{or}~~~~~~~~ x = \dfrac 12 \left(1-\dfrac{22}3\right)}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{25}6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \text{or}~~~~~~~~ x=-\dfrac{19}6\\\\\\\implies x = 4\dfrac 16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \text{or}~~~~~~~~x = -3\dfrac16$
