Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
|3x+1| = 8 given problem
3x+1 = 8 3x+1 = -8 separate into positive and negative
3x = 7 3x =-9 subtract 1 from each side
x = 7/3 x = -3 divide by 3
x = -3, 7/3 solutions
3|2x+5| = 24 given problem
|2x+5| = 8 divide each side by 3
2x+5 = 8 2x+5 = -8 separate into positive and negative
2x = 3 2x = -13 subtract 5 from each side
x = 3/2 x = -13/2 divide by 2
x = -13/2 x =3/2 solutions
