3 l 5x-3 l + 8 = 11 solve for XI think I wrote the question correctly :)

We'll solve the module in ths
way:


3 l 5x-3 l + 8 =
11   


We'll subtract 8 both sides
first :


3 l 5x-3 l = 11-8


3 l
5x-3 l = 3


We'll divide by
3:


 l 5x-3 l = 1


We'll get 2
cases to solve:


1) We'll impose the constraint of absolute
value:


5x - 3 for 5x -
3>=0


5x>=3


x>=3/5


Now,
we'll solve the equation:


5x - 3 =
1


We'll add 3 both sides:


5x =
4


x = 4/5


The value of x
belongs to the interval of admissible values:


[3/5 ,
+inf.)


2) -5x + 3 for 5x -
3<0


5x<3


x<3/5


Now,
we'll solve the equation:


-5x + 3 =
1


We'll subtract 3 both
sides:


-5x = -2


We'll divide
by -5:


x = 2/5


Since the value
of x belongs to the interval of admissible values, x = 2/5 is also a root of the given
equation.


The roots of the equation are: {2/5
; 4/5}.

Comment on the setting and character of &quot;The Fall of the House of Usher.&quot;How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
