5|2x+3|=15


Steps to solve:

1. Divide both sides by 5.

2. Solve for the absolute value.

Now...

Possibility 1: 2x+3=3

3. Subtract 3 from both sides.

4. Divide both sides by 2.

Possibility 2: 2x+3=-3

3. Subtract 3 from both sides.

4. Divide both sides by 2.


Possibility 1: x = 0

Possibility 2: x = -3
