Solution for abs(x-5)=abs(3x+11) equation:


Simplifying
abs(x + -5) = abs(3x + 11)

Reorder the terms:
abs(-5 + x) = abs(3x + 11)
(-5 * abs + x * abs) = abs(3x + 11)
(-5abs + absx) = abs(3x + 11)

Reorder the terms:
-5abs + absx = abs(11 + 3x)
-5abs + absx = (11 * abs + 3x * abs)
-5abs + absx = (11abs + 3absx)

Solving
-5abs + absx = 11abs + 3absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-11abs' to each side of the equation.
-5abs + -11abs + absx = 11abs + -11abs + 3absx

Combine like terms: -5abs + -11abs = -16abs
-16abs + absx = 11abs + -11abs + 3absx

Combine like terms: 11abs + -11abs = 0
-16abs + absx = 0 + 3absx
-16abs + absx = 3absx

Add '-3absx' to each side of the equation.
-16abs + absx + -3absx = 3absx + -3absx

Combine like terms: absx + -3absx = -2absx
-16abs + -2absx = 3absx + -3absx

Combine like terms: 3absx + -3absx = 0
-16abs + -2absx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-2abs'.
-2abs(8 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor -2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'abs' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying abs = 0 Solving abs = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying abs = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(8 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 8 + x = 0 Solving 8 + x = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8' to each side of the equation. 8 + -8 + x = 0 + -8 Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -8 x = 0 + -8 Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8 x = -8 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = -8 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = -8 + -1x Simplifying 0 = -8 + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
