Solve for x: |2x-3|=3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "solve for 2 conditions:
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "2x-3=3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "x=-11
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "-(2x-3)=3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+3=3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "5x=-5
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "for x=-11
\n" ); document.write( "|2x-3|=3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "|-25|=-33+8
\n" ); document.write( "25≠-25
\n" ); document.write( "reject x=-11
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "For x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "|2x-3|=3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "|-5|=5
\n" ); document.write( "5=5
