|17-(3x-9)|==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.
$$3 x - 26 \geq 0$$
or
$$\frac{26}{3} \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$3 x - 26 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$3 x - 26 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = \frac{26}{3}$$
2.
$$3 x - 26 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < \frac{26}{3}$$
we get the equation
$$26 - 3 x = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$26 - 3 x = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = \frac{26}{3}$$
but x2 not in the inequality interval
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{26}{3}$$
