Answer:

x = -1 or x = 4
(1)/(3)

Explanation:

2 * | 3x - 5 | - 8 = 8. Add 8 to both sides.

2 * | 3x - 5 | - 8 + 8 = 8 + 8

2 * | 3x - 5 | = 16 Divide both sides by 2.


(2 * | 3x - 5 | )/(2) =
(16)/(2)

| 3x - 5 | = 8 Write two equations.

3x - 5 = 8 | 3x - 5 = -8 Solve both equations.

3x - 5 + 5 = 8 + 5 | 3x - 5 + 5 = -8 + 5

3x = 13 | 3x = -3 Simplify.

x = 4
(1)/(3) | x = -1
