Question

-3|x - 3|= -6




what to do, what to do :/​

Answer 1

X=5, X=1

Explanation:

Okay so the | means absolute value and it is similar to a parentheses, except everything inside it becomes positive. Since there is a variable (x) inside it, you will have two scenarios then, one where everything inside is positive and where it's negative (so -3x +9 = -6 and 3x -9 =-6) You then solve for x in both equations.

Answer 2

x=5 x=1

Explanation:

-3|x - 3|= -6

Divide each side by -3

-3|x - 3|/-3= -6/-3

|x - 3|= 2

To get rid of the absolute value signs, we get two equations, one positive and one negative

x-3 =2 x-3 = -2

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 2+3 x-3+3 = -2 +3

x =5 x = 1
