Question
Solve : $|3 x-5|=1$
✓
Answer
$|3 x-5|=1$
$\therefore 3 x-5=1 \text { or } 3 x-5=-1$
$\therefore 3 x=1+5 \text { or } 3 x=-1+5$
$\therefore 3 x=6 \text { or } 3 x=4$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{6}{3} \quad \text { or } \quad x=\frac{4}{3}$
$\therefore \quad x=2 \quad \text { or } \quad x=\frac{4}{3}$
$\therefore 3 x-5=1 \text { or } 3 x-5=-1$
$\therefore 3 x=1+5 \text { or } 3 x=-1+5$
$\therefore 3 x=6 \text { or } 3 x=4$
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{6}{3} \quad \text { or } \quad x=\frac{4}{3}$
$\therefore \quad x=2 \quad \text { or } \quad x=\frac{4}{3}$
