(|14-2x|)=3-5x 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.
$$2 x - 14 \geq 0$$
or
$$7 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$5 x + \left(2 x - 14\right) - 3 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$7 x - 17 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = \frac{17}{7}$$
but x1 not in the inequality interval
2.
$$2 x - 14 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < 7$$
we get the equation
$$5 x + \left(14 - 2 x\right) - 3 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$3 x + 11 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = - \frac{11}{3}$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = - \frac{11}{3}$$
