Steps to Solve

  1. Solve each equation separately

    We will tackle each equation step-by-step.

  2. Equation 1: Solve $5|x| + 3 = 7$

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    $$ 5|x| = 4 $$

    Divide by 5:

    $$ |x| = \frac{4}{5} $$

    Thus, $x = \frac{4}{5}$ or $x = -\frac{4}{5}$.

  3. Equation 2: Solve $1.7|x| + 4.9 = 10$

    Subtract 4.9 from both sides:

    $$ 1.7|x| = 5.1 $$

    Divide by 1.7:

    $$ |x| = 3 $$

    Thus, $x = 3$ or $x = -3$.

  4. Equation 3: Solve $2.5|3y| = 15$

    Divide both sides by 2.5:

    $$ |3y| = 6 $$

    Divide by 3:

    $$ |y| = 2 $$

    Thus, $y = 2$ or $y = -2$.

  5. Equation 4: Solve $|2x + 14| = 6$

    This splits into two cases:

    Case 1: $2x + 14 = 6$

    Subtract 14:

    $$ 2x = -8 $$

    Divide by 2:

    $$ x = -4 $$

    Case 2: $2x + 14 = -6$

    Subtract 14:

    $$ 2x = -20 $$

    Divide by 2:

    $$ x = -10 $$

    So, $x = -4$ or $x = -10$.

  6. Equation 5: Solve $|9x + 15| = 6$

    This splits into two cases:

    Case 1: $9x + 15 = 6$

    Subtract 15:

    $$ 9x = -9 $$

    Divide by 9:

    $$ x = -1 $$

    Case 2: $9x + 15 = -6$

    Subtract 15:

    $$ 9x = -21 $$

    Divide by 9:

    $$ x = -\frac{7}{3} $$

    So, $x = -1$ or $x = -\frac{7}{3}$.

  7. Equation 6: Solve $|8x - 6| = 14$

    This splits into two cases:

    Case 1: $8x - 6 = 14$

    Add 6:

    $$ 8x = 20 $$

    Divide by 8:

    $$ x = \frac{5}{2} $$

    Case 2: $8x - 6 = -14$

    Add 6:

    $$ 8x = -8 $$

    Divide by 8:

    $$ x = -1 $$

    So, $x = \frac{5}{2}$ or $x = -1$.

  8. Equation 7: Solve $|x| - 3 = 0$

    Add 3 to both sides:

    $$ |x| = 3 $$

    Thus, $x = 3$ or $x = -3$.

  9. Equation 8: Solve $5 - |x| = 0$

    Add $|x|$ to both sides:

    $$ 5 = |x| $$

    Thus, $x = 5$ or $x = -5$.

  10. Equation 9: Solve $|x| + 3 = 0$

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    $$ |x| = -3 $$

    This has no solution since absolute values cannot be negative.

  11. Equation 10: Solve $|7 - |x|| = 0$

    This implies:

    $$ 7 - |x| = 0 $$

    Thus,

    $$ |x| = 7 $$

    So, $x = 7$ or $x = -7$.

  1. $x = \frac{4}{5}, -\frac{4}{5}$

  2. $x = 3, -3$

  3. $y = 2, -2$

  4. $x = -4, -10$

  5. $x = -1, -\frac{7}{3}$

  6. $x = \frac{5}{2}, -1$

  7. $x = 3, -3$

  8. $x = 5, -5$

  9. No solution

  10. $x = 7, -7$

More Information

Absolute values always yield non-negative results, which is crucial in determining the potential solutions for equations involving them.

Tips

  • Forgetting to consider both cases when solving absolute value equations.
  • Miscalculating negative cases or failing to combine results from both scenarios.
