Question

If 5|2x| = 60, then what are the values of x?​

Answer 1

`\huge \boxed { \boxed{x = \{6 , - 6 \}}}`

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• absolute value
• equation
• PEMDAS

tips and formulas:

• |a|=±a

let's solve:

1. 
   `\sf divide \: bothe \: sides \: by \: 5 : \\ ( 5|2x| )/(5) = (60)/(5) \\ |2x| = 12`
2. 
   `\sf seperate \: the \: equation \:in \: 2 \:parts : \\ \begin{cases}2x = 12 \\ \: 2x = - 12\end{cases}`
3. 
   `\sf \: di vide \: both \: sides \: by \: 2 : \\ \begin{cases} (2x)/(2) = (12)/(2) \\ \: (2x)/(2) = ( - 12)/(2) \end{cases} \\ \therefore x = \{6 , - 6 \}`

Answer 2

i got x is equal to 6,-6
