Math Problem Statement

3|2x - 6| + 2 = 2

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

32x6+2=23 |2x - 6| + 2 = 2

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Isolate the Absolute Value Term:

    Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the absolute value:

    32x6=03 |2x - 6| = 0

  2. Divide by 3:

    To solve for the absolute value, divide both sides by 3:

    2x6=0|2x - 6| = 0

  3. Solve the Absolute Value Equation:

    The absolute value of a number is 0 only if the number itself is 0. Therefore:

    2x6=02x - 6 = 0

  4. Solve for xx:

    Add 6 to both sides:

    2x=62x = 6

    Divide by 2:

    x=3x = 3

Solution:

The solution to the equation is:

x=3\boxed{x = 3}
