Problem

Calculate the equation
\$ | 6x + 2 | = | x | \$

Formula:

By using formula

\$| x | = | x |\$

Hint

By removing mod we get(+) or (-)

\$x=x (or) x=-x \$

Step

By simplifying we get

\$ 6x + 2 = x (or) 6x + 2 = - x \$

Step

Move 'x' variable terms right hand side and constant terms left hand side

\$ 6x - x = - 2 (or) 6x + x = -2 \$

Step

After simplification we get

\$ 5x = - 2 (or) 7x = -2 \$

Step

Dividing on both sides '5' and '7'

\$ \cancel5/\cancel5x = - 2/5 (or) \cancel7/\cancel7x = -2/7 \$

Step

After cancellation we get

\$ x = - 2/5 (or) x = -2/7 \$
