Solve |3x-3| 48=2

Evaluate

∣ 3 x - 3 ∣ \times 48 = 2

Multiply the terms

48 ∣ 3 x - 3 ∣ = 2

Divide both sides

\frac{48 ∣ 3 x - 3 ∣}{48} = \frac{2}{48}

Divide the numbers

∣ 3 x - 3 ∣ = \frac{2}{48}

Cancel out the common factor 2

∣ 3 x - 3 ∣ = \frac{1}{24}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

3 x - 3 = \frac{1}{24} 3 x - 3 = - \frac{1}{24}
