Question

Given the function f(x)=6|x-2|+3, for what values of x is f(x)=39?

Answer 1

The values of x are -4 and 8

Explanation:

39=6|x-2|+3 move the 39 and 6 to the opposite sides and simplify

-6|x-2|=-36 divide both side by -6

|x-2|=6 separate it into the possible equations

x-2=6 so, x=8

or

x-2=-6 so, x=-4
