solve 2x-3/3x+2= -2/3
Answers
Absolute Value Equation entered :
|2x-3|=3x-2
Step by step solution :
STEP
1
:
Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation
Absolute value equalitiy entered
|2x-3| = 3x-2
STEP
2
:
Clear the Absolute Value Bars
Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.
The Absolute Value term is |2x-3|
For the Negative case we'll use -(2x-3)
For the Positive case we'll use (2x-3)
STEP
3
:
Solve the Negative Case
-(2x-3) = 3x-2
Multiply
-2x+3 = 3x-2
Rearrange and Add up
-5x = -5
Divide both sides by 5
-x = -1
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = 1
Which is the solution for the Negative Case
STEP
4
:
Solve the Positive Case
(2x-3) = 3x-2
Rearrange and Add up
-x = 1
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = -1
Which is the solution for the Positive Case
STEP
5
:
Wrap up the solution
x=1
x=-1
