There are two solutions to | 16x - 5 | = 3. The greatest solution is ___.
Since the expression, 16x - 5, can be either positive or negative, solve for both.
16x - 5 = 3
16x = 8
x = .5
-(16x - 5) = 3
-16x + 5 = 3
-16x = -2
x = 1/8
You can decide which is "greatest."
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
