for 2|3x-16| x=4 , either
\n" ); document.write( "2(3x-16)* x=4 or
\n" ); document.write( "2( -(3x-16) ) *x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "Take 2(3x-16)* x=4 first
\n" ); document.write( "(6x - 32)*x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "6x^2 -32x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "6x^2 -32x - 4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Using a solver we get x = \"%281%2F3%29%288+-+sqrt%2870%29%29\" or x = \"%281%2F3%29%288+%2B+sqrt%2870%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve 2( -(3x-16) ) *x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "(-6x + 32 )*x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "-6x^2 +32x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "-6x^2 + 32x -4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by -1
\n" ); document.write( " 6x^2 -32x + 4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "solving we get x = \"%281%2F3%29%288+-+sqrt%2858%29%29\" or x = \"%281%2F3%29%288+%2B+sqrt%2858%29%29\"
