I'm working on some algebra homework and am a little stumped by this one problem.
It is asking for all x-values that satisfy the equation.
I understand the concept of absolute values, so far the problems have been:
lxl=5 to which I answered: x=-5,5
lx-3l=7 ; x=-4,10.
Now I'm on the problem:
ly-3l=8-ly-3l
I'm not sure if there is a way to do this as a formula or if it's just trial and error of plugging in different numbers to see if they would work out.
