Which of the following is (are) the solution (s) to | X+10 | = 3x-2?

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

x = { 3, - 2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's actually find the solutions to | X+10 | = 3x - 2. Because of the absolute value operator this breaks down into two simpler problems:

1) x + 10 = 3x - 2, or 12 = 4x. Then x = 3

2) - (x + 10) = 3x - 2, or - x - 10 = 3x - 2, or - 8 = 4x. Then x = - 2
