Find the solution for x if |7x + 5| = 19.
Added by Lauren G.
Step 1
The equation given is |7x + 5| = 19. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, |a| = b implies a = b or a = -b. Step 2: Set up two separate equations based on the absolute value Show more…
