16 ∣ 2 s + 5 ∣ = 20

s = - \frac{25}{8} or s = - \frac{15}{8}

Decimal

s = - 3.125, s = - 1.875

Solution steps

16 ∣ 2 s + 5 ∣ = 20

Divide both sides by

16

∣ 2 s + 5 ∣ = \frac{5}{4}

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

2 s + 5 = - \frac{5}{4} or 2 s + 5 = \frac{5}{4}

2 s + 5 = - \frac{5}{4} or 2 s + 5 = \frac{5}{4}

s = - \frac{25}{8} or s = - \frac{15}{8}

∣ x + 3 ∣ = x^{2} - 4 x - 3

∣ 5 x + 8 ∣ + 16 = 28

∣ 3 x - 4 ∣ = ∣ 6 - 5 x ∣

0 = 2 x - 2 ∣ x ∣ + 3

∣ 2 x - 3 ∣ - 2 = ∣ x - 6 ∣
