SOLUTION: could you please help me solve this equation |2-3x|<(or equal) 5 I seem to have trouble with absolute values

|2-3x| <= 5.


Divide both sides by 3. You will get an equivalent inequality


 <= .


The solution set to this inequality is the set of those x that are remoted not farther than  units  from the point  on the number line, i.e

the set of x,   <= x <= ,   or,  which is the same,

-1 <= x <= .


Answer.  The solution set is the segment  [-1,] of the number line.

This is NOT an equation, but an INEQUALITY instead.

              OR                

                 OR
