Solution for abs(x-38)=abs(38-x) equation:


Simplifying
abs(x + -38) = abs(38 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
abs(-38 + x) = abs(38 + -1x)
(-38 * abs + x * abs) = abs(38 + -1x)
(-38abs + absx) = abs(38 + -1x)
-38abs + absx = (38 * abs + -1x * abs)
-38abs + absx = (38abs + -1absx)

Solving
-38abs + absx = 38abs + -1absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '-38abs' to each side of the equation.
-38abs + -38abs + absx = 38abs + -38abs + -1absx

Combine like terms: -38abs + -38abs = -76abs
-76abs + absx = 38abs + -38abs + -1absx

Combine like terms: 38abs + -38abs = 0
-76abs + absx = 0 + -1absx
-76abs + absx = -1absx

Add 'absx' to each side of the equation.
-76abs + absx + absx = -1absx + absx

Combine like terms: absx + absx = 2absx
-76abs + 2absx = -1absx + absx

Combine like terms: -1absx + absx = 0
-76abs + 2absx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2abs'.
2abs(-38 + 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.
