Answer:
x = 4/15 and x= 10/3
Explanation:
|9x-7|=|6x+3|
There are two solutions, one positive and one negative.
(9x-7)=6x+3 - (9x-7)=6x+3
We will take the positive one first
(9x-7)=6x+3
Subtract 6x from each side
(9x-6x-7)=6x-6x+3
3x -7=3
Add 7 to each side
3x-7+7 = 3+7
3x = 10
Divide by 3x/3 = 10/3
x = 10/3
Now we will take the negative solution
- (9x-7)=6x+3
Distribute the negative sign
-9x+7 = 6x+3
Add 9x to each side
-9x+9x+7 = 6x+9x+3
7 = 15x+3
Subtract 3 from each side
7-3 = 15x +3-3
4 = 15x
Divide by 15 on each side
4/15 =15x/15
4/15 =x
