Algebra.Com's Answer #73558 by Earlsdon(6294) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, isolate the absolute-value part: \n" ); document.write( "6-|4x-3| = -19 Subtract 6 from both sides. \n" ); document.write( "-|4x-3| = -25 Multiply both sides by -1 \n" ); document.write( "|4x-3| = 25 Now remove the absolute-value bars to get the two equations. \n" ); document.write( "1) 4x-3 = 25 \n" ); document.write( "2) 4x-3 = -25\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) 4x = 28 so x = 7 \n" ); document.write( "2) 4x = -22 so x = -5.5 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
