∣∣2x+4∣+x−1∣=10
To solve the equation ∣∣2x+4∣+x−1∣=10, we will consider different cases due to the absolute value expressions.
First, let's set ∣2x+4∣+x−1=10:
- Case 1: 2x+4≥0 (so ∣2x+4∣=2x+4),
Equation becomes: 2x+4+x−1=10,
Combine and simplify: 3x+3=10,
Solve: 3x=7 ⇒x=37.
- Case 2: 2x+4<0 (so ∣2x+4∣=−(2x+4)),
Equation becomes: −2x−4+x−1=10,
Combine and simplify: −x−5=10,
Solve: −x=15 ⇒x=−15.
Next, consider ∣2x+4∣+x−1=−10:
- Case 3: 2x+4≥0 (so ∣2x+4∣=2x+4),
Equation becomes: 2x+4+x−1=−10,
Combine and simplify: 3x+3=−10,
Solve: 3x=−13 ⇒x=−313, which is not a solution since it doesn't satisfy the condition.
- Case 4: 2x+4<0 (so ∣2x+4∣=−(2x+4)),
Equation becomes: −2x−4+x−1=−10,
Combine and simplify: −x−5=−10,
Solve: −x=−5 ⇒x=5, which is not a solution since it doesn't satisfy the condition.
Thus, the possible solutions are x=37≈2.3 and x=−15.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=2.3 and x=−15.
x=2.3 , x=−15
