Is it possible to solve |2x| + 3 =x?

I got x= -3, but it doesn't seem to work when you plug it into the original equation to check it..

3 answers

|2(-3)| + 3 = -3
9=-3

?
|2x| = x-3
2x= x-3 or -2x = x-3
x = -3 which was your answer OR -3x = -3 ---> x = 1

But ... neither answer satisfies the original equation, so there is no solution.
thanks
