Answer:
x=19/2
x=- 13/2
Explanation:
multiply both sides by 2 |2x -3|+10=26
move constant (10 to the right and change sign |2x-3|=26-10
subtract the numbers |2x-3|=16
use absolute value (rewrite the absolute value 2x-3=16
equation as two separate equations one (+) and (-) 2x-3= -16
2x-3=16 move constant to the right
2x=16+3 add the numbers
2x=19 divide both sides by 2
x=19/2
same steps with with second one
2x-2= -16
2x= -16 +3 move constant to the right change sign and add
2x= -13 divide both sides by two
x= -13/2
The | | are not ( ) . They have different meaning , absolute value brackets. ok :)
