Answer:
x = 7 x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3|x − 3| + 2 = 14
Subtract 2 from each side
3|x − 3| + 2 -2= 14-2
3|x − 3| = 12
Divide by 3
3|x − 3| /3 = 12/3
|x − 3| = 4
Now the absolute value has a positive and negative solution.
x-3 = 4 x-3 = -4
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = 4+3 x-3+3 = -4+3
x = 7 x = -1
