∣ 5 x + 1 ∣ = 2

x = - \frac{3}{5} or x = \frac{1}{5}

Decimal

x = - 0.6, x = 0.2

Solution steps

∣ 5 x + 1 ∣ = 2

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

5 x + 1 = - 2 or 5 x + 1 = 2

5 x + 1 = - 2 or 5 x + 1 = 2

x = - \frac{3}{5} or x = \frac{1}{5}

- 13 + 11 ∣ - 10 x + 13 ∣ = 16

∣ y ∣ = 1 - ∣ x ∣

∣ x ∣ + 5 = 11

5 ∣ 7 w + 1 ∣ + 9 = 9

\frac{1}{4} - 2 ∣ x + 2 ∣ = 0
