Question

What are the solutions to the equation

|3x - 15| = 0

Question 4 options:

x = -5 and x = 15


x = 15 only


x = 5 only


no solution

Answer 1

`x=5` only

Explanation:

`|3x-15|=0 \\ \\ 3x-15=0 \\ \\ 3x=15 \\ \\ x=5`

Answer 2

c) x = 5 only

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ |3x - 15| = 0

Now the value of x will be,

→ |3x - 15| = 0

→ 3x - 15 = 0 || → -(3x - 15) = 0

→ 3x = 0 + 15 || → -3x = 0 - 15

→ x = 15/3 || → x = -15/-3

→ [ x = 5 ] || → [ x = 5 ]

Hence, the value of x is 5.
