Question

Solve the absolute value equation:

|3x+3|=10

Answer 1

• x = 2.33

Explanation:

We know that when there is an absolute value sign, the value inside the bars is always positive.

• => I3x + 3I = 10
• => 3x + 3 = 10
• => 3x = 10 - 3
• => 3x = 7
• => x = 7/3
• => x = 2.33 (Rounded to nearest hundredth)

Hence, the value of x is 2.33.
