Question 917168: How do you find all Real Solutions for this equation?
|3x+5| = 1-x
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
|3x+5| = 1-x
3x+5 = (1-x) or 3x+5 = -(1-x)
3x+5 = 1-x or 3x+5 = -1+x
3x = 1-x-5 or 3x = -1+x-5
3x+x = 1-5 or 3x-x = -1-5
4x = -4 or 2x = -6
x = -4/4 or x = -6/2
x = -1 or x = -3
The two solutions are x = -1 or x = -3
