1.) Solve the absolute value equation.

2|3x - 5| - 8 = 8

A. X = - 1 5/6 or X = 5/6

B. X = - 1 or X = 4 1/3

C. X = - 1 5/6 or X = 4 1/3

D. X = - 1 5/6 or X = - 1

B. x = - 1 or x = 4 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

2|3x - 5| - 8 = 8

2|3x - 5| = 16

|3x - 5| = 8

The expression in the vertical lines can be positive or negative so we have 2 equations:

3x - 5 = 8 and 3x - 5 = - 8

3x - 5 = 8

3x = 13

x = 13/3 or 4 1/3

3x - 5 = - 8

3x = - 8 + 5 = - 3

x = - 1.
