Problem

Calculate the equation
\$ | x - 1 | = | 2x | \$

Formula:

By using formula

\$ | x | = | x |\$

Hint

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

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

Step

By simplifying we get

\$ x - 1 = 2x (or) x - 1 = - 2x \$

Step

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

\$ x - 2x = 1 (or) x + 2x = 1 \$

Step

After simplification we get

\$ -x = 1 (or) 3x = 1 \$

Step

Dividing on both sides '-1' and '3'

\$ \cancel(-1)/\cancel(-1)x = 1/(-1) (or) \cancel3/\cancel3x = 1/3 \$

Step

After cancellation we get

\$ x = -1 (or) x = 1/3 \$
