You can put this solution on YOUR website! /x/+3=8
There are two conditions for absolute values:
Condition #1 Either x is a positive number.
Condition #2 Or x is a negative number.
So, the equation is divided into the two conditions:
Condition #1:
x+3=8
x=8-3
x=5
or
x+3=-8
x=-8-3
x=-11
.
Checking:
x+3=8
(x=5)
5+3=8
8=8 [checks out]
or
x+3=-8
x=-11
-11 + 3=-8
-8=-8 [also checks out]
