|5x - 2| - 8 = 9 or |5x - 2| - 8 = -9
For the first equation:5x - 2 - 8 = 95x - 10 = 95x = 19x = 19/5
For the second equation:5x - 2 - 8 = -95x - 10 = -95x = 1x = 1/5
Therefore, the solutions are x = 19/5 or x = 1/5.
|5x - 2| - 8 = 9 or |5x - 2| - 8 = -9
For the first equation:
5x - 2 - 8 = 9
5x - 10 = 9
5x = 19
x = 19/5
For the second equation:
5x - 2 - 8 = -9
5x - 10 = -9
5x = 1
x = 1/5
Therefore, the solutions are x = 19/5 or x = 1/5.
