Answer:
x = -1 or x = 4[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
2 * | 3x - 5 | - 8 = 8. Add 8 to both sides.
2 * | 3x - 5 | - 8 + 8 = 8 + 8
2 * | 3x - 5 | = 16 Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]\frac{2 * | 3x - 5 | }{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex]
| 3x - 5 | = 8 Write two equations.
3x - 5 = 8 | 3x - 5 = -8 Solve both equations.
3x - 5 + 5 = 8 + 5 | 3x - 5 + 5 = -8 + 5
3x = 13 | 3x = -3 Simplify.
x = 4[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] | x = -1
