Question

Solve each of the following equations. (2 answers)

|2x-3|=2

Answer 1

x= 5/2 or 1/2

Explanation:

absolute value always gives us positive

if |u| = 2, u can be -2 or 2

2x-3 = 2

2x = 5

x = 5/2

2x-3 = -2

2x = 1

x= 1/2

in general, set the stuff inside the absolute value to equal both positive and negative of the equivalent value
