Question 910983: I need to solve these equations but I don't know how can someone explain it to me
|x-3|=9
|x+4|=1
|4x-5|=11
|6x+3|=21
|x+8.5|=10.5
| x + 1/3 | = 5/3

(Your list of equations was rearranged in the question-composition field so each could be seen and read clearly.)


Each of those is in almost the same format.

I pick just the last one, and you should know how to then handle the others.



Either x+1/3 NONZERO or x+1/3 LESS-THAN ZERO.


x+1/3>=0:





x+1/3<0:






You might want to check both of these to be sure each of them works in the original equation.
