Answer:
x = ±3
Step-by-step explanation:
2 = |x| - 1
Add 1 to both sides: |x| = 3
⇒ x = ±3
Solution:
- 2 = |x| - 1
Remember, the number inside the absolute value bars will always be positive. This means that if -5 is between two bars, it will become 5.
- => 2 + 1 = |x|
- => 3 = |x|
Let's review 2 ways that this equation can go through:
- (3 = |3|) = (3 = 3) True
- (3 = |-3|) = (3 = 3) True
Hence, the measure of x is ±3.
