The solution set for the equation |4x - 9| + 3 = 8 are its true values

The solution set is x = 3.5 or x = 1

<h3>How to determine the solution set?</h3>

The equation is given as:

|4x - 9| + 3 = 8

Subtract 3 from both sides

|4x - 9| = 5

Remove the absolute bracket

4x - 9 = 5 or 4x - 9 = -5

Add 9 to both sides

4x = 14 or 4x = 4

Divide both sides by 4

x = 3.5 or x = 1

Hence, the solution set is x = 3.5 or x = 1

Two thirds of a number is no more than -10

Aliun [14]

Let x be the number in the problem. When it states that x is "no more than -10", it means than it is less than or equal to -10. So, we have

$\frac{2}{3}$ x≤-10

In order to cancel out the $\frac{2}{3}$ on the left and isolate x, we multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ (since $\frac{3}{2}$ · $\frac{2}{3}$ =1). Thus, we have

x≤-10· $\frac{3}{2}$ =-15

Therefore, x≤-15
