Solve this absolute value equation and show all work. 9 + |2x - 3| = 7 3 + |2x - 4| = 15 solve the following equation and show all work 3(2x + 8) = 14x - 4(2x - 6)

I was confused at first until I realized that you'd shared not one, not two, but three questions in one post.  would you please post just one question at a time to avoid this.

I'll focus on your second question only:  Solve 3 + |2x - 4| = 15.

Subtr. 3 from both sides.  Result:  |2x - 4| = 12

Divide all terms by 2, to reduce:    |x - 2| = 6

Case 1:  x-2 is already +, so we don't need |    |:

                       x - 2 = 6    =>   x = 8 (first answer)

Case 2:  x-2 is negative, so |2x-4| = -(2x-4) = 6

             Then   -2x + 8 = 6.  Subtr. 8 from both sides:   -2x = -2

               Div both sides by -2:  x = 1 (second answer)

Be sure to check these results by subst. them into the original equation.

Please post your other questions separately.  Thanks and good luck!
