Solve |2x-4| 3=5 - ScanMath

Evaluate

∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ \times 3 = 5

Multiply the terms

3 ∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ = 5

Divide both sides

\frac{3 ∣ 2 x - 4 ∣}{3} = \frac{5}{3}

Divide the numbers

∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ = \frac{5}{3}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

2 x - 4 = \frac{5}{3} 2 x - 4 = - \frac{5}{3}

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

x = \frac{17}{6} 2 x - 4 = - \frac{5}{3}

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

x = \frac{17}{6} x = \frac{7}{6}

Solution

x_{1} = \frac{7}{6}, x_{2} = \frac{17}{6}

Alternative Form

x_{1} = 1.1 \dot{6}, x_{2} = 2.8 \dot{3}
