3 x -2 = 7

│3x-2 │ = 7

3x -2 = 7
3x = 9
x = 3

3x - 2 = -7
3x = -7 +2
3x = -5
x = -5/3

answer: x = -5/3 and 3

|3x - 2| = 7

Step 1, Add 2 to both sides of the equal sign.

3x - 2 + 2 = 7 + 2

3x = 9

Step 2, Divide 3 to both sides of the equal sign.

3x / 3 = 9 / 3

x = 3

Step 3, Begin again witht eh original equation, except change the polarity of 7.

|3x - 2| = - 7

Step 4, Add 2 to both sides of the equal sign.

3x - 2 + 2 = - 7 + 2

3x = - 5

Step 2, Divide 3 to both sides of the equal sign.

3x / 3 = - 5 / 3

x = - 5/3 or - 1 2/3

The answer is x = 3 and - 1 2/3

3x = 7+2
3x = 9
therefore, x =3

3x -2 = 7
3x = 7 +2 (+2 is from -2)
3x = 9
x = 3
