Question 494682: Hi! I am currently enrolled in an Algebra II class, and I am having trouble with figuring out how to solve an equation, due to an absence regarding sports.
The problems are as follows:
Solve for x. Assume that a,b,c, and d represent positive real numbers.
1. |ax|-b=c
2. |cx-d|=ab
3. a|bx-c|=d
Thanking you in advance for your help.

Solve for x. Assume that a,b,c, and d represent positive real numbers.
1. |ax|- b = c
|ax| = (b + c)
two solutions after you remove the abs
ax = (b+c)
x =
and
x =


2. |cx-d| = ab
cx - d = ab
cx = ab + d
x =
and
cx - d = -ab
cx = -ab + d
x =

3. a|bx-c|=d
|bx-c| =
bx = +c
;
x =
and
bx - c =
bx = +c
;
x =
