9x-5*|-x-11| equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.
1.
$$x + 11 \geq 0$$
or
$$-11 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$9 x - 5 \left(x + 11\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$4 x - 55 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = \frac{55}{4}$$
2.
$$x + 11 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < -11$$
we get the equation
$$9 x - 5 \left(- x - 11\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$14 x + 55 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = - \frac{55}{14}$$
but x2 not in the inequality interval
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{55}{4}$$
