You can put this solution on YOUR website! I do not understand how exactly to solve this equation. |x-1|=|3x+2| those are absolute value signs around the x-1 and the 3x+2. My textbook says the answers are -3/2 and -1/4? Please explain
--------
Equations:
x-1 = 3x+2 or x-1 = -(3x+2)
2x = -3 or x-1 = -3x-2
x = -3/2 or 4x = -1
x = -3/2 or x = -1/4
