Solution for abs(2x-16)=abs(7x+9) equation:


Simplifying
abs(2x + -16) = abs(7x + 9)

Reorder the terms:
abs(-16 + 2x) = abs(7x + 9)
(-16 * abs + 2x * abs) = abs(7x + 9)
(-16abs + 2absx) = abs(7x + 9)

Reorder the terms:
-16abs + 2absx = abs(9 + 7x)
-16abs + 2absx = (9 * abs + 7x * abs)
-16abs + 2absx = (9abs + 7absx)

Solving
-16abs + 2absx = 9abs + 7absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '-9abs' to each side of the equation.
-16abs + -9abs + 2absx = 9abs + -9abs + 7absx

Combine like terms: -16abs + -9abs = -25abs
-25abs + 2absx = 9abs + -9abs + 7absx

Combine like terms: 9abs + -9abs = 0
-25abs + 2absx = 0 + 7absx
-25abs + 2absx = 7absx

Add '-7absx' to each side of the equation.
-25abs + 2absx + -7absx = 7absx + -7absx

Combine like terms: 2absx + -7absx = -5absx
-25abs + -5absx = 7absx + -7absx

Combine like terms: 7absx + -7absx = 0
-25abs + -5absx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-5abs'.
-5abs(5 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor -5.

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.
