:-)-[4a - 2] =5first step transpose the 2 over to the fiveso you have 4a = 5+ or - 2(since its an absolute value)step 2 4a = 7 or 3 step 3 divide both sides by 4, you get 7/4 or 3/4step 4 substitute both answers for a whichever one gives you five is the answer.step five I got 7/4 as the answer, since 4(7/4) - 2=5hope I helped you ti understand better. I kinda suck at explaining things:)-Ok Hannah---Anytime youre dealing with absolute value equations remember that what is inside the | | is the distance from 5. So,......
[ ] = absolute value

[4a - 2] = 5

please just an easy step one step two kinda thing. thanks.

Hi,

| 4a - 2 | = 5

4a - 2 = 5 or 4a - 2 = -5

4a = 7 or 4a = -3

a = 7/4 or a = -3/4 <==ANSWER

I hope that helps!! :-)

[4a - 2] =5
first step transpose the 2 over to the five
so you have 4a = 5+ or - 2(since its an absolute value)
step 2 4a = 7 or 3
step 3 divide both sides by 4, you get 7/4 or 3/4
step 4 substitute both answers for a whichever one gives you five is the answer.
step five I got 7/4 as the answer, since 4(7/4) - 2=5
hope I helped you ti understand better.
I kinda suck at explaining things:)

Ok Hannah---
Anytime you're dealing with absolute value equations remember that what is inside the | | is the "distance" from 5. So, make yourself a real number line and say (1) 4a-2 = 5 and (2)
4a-2 = -5 and just solve both these equations and you'll have your answers. (1) a = 7/4 and
(2) a = -3/4. Plug them in and check...they do....

Absolute value mean it can be negative and positive and still give the same answer. This mean 4a-2 can be both -5 and 5. So to solve for a, set 5 to positive

4a - 2 = 5 4a - 2 = -5
+2 +2 +2 +2
4a = 7 4a = -3
Divide both side by 4
a = 7/4 = 1 3/4 a = -3/4

So a can be 7/4 or -3/4

-
1) solve the problem 4a - 2 = 5...you should get a = 1.75
2) solve the problem 4a - 2 = -5...you should get a = -.75
3) the answers to the problem are a = 1.75 and a=-.75

By setting the right hand side equal to both 5 and -5, you take care of the absolute value sign.

|4a-2|=5
come up with 2 equations using the stuff inside the absolute value equal to the other side of equal and opposite of the other side. So, 4a-2=5 AND 4a-2=-5
