  1. 3|2x + 1| + 8 = 11

    3|2x + 1| = 11 - 8

    3|2x + 1| = 3

    |2x + 1| = 3/3

    |2x + 1| = 1

    2x + 1 = ±1

    2x + 1 = 1

    2x = 1 - 1

    x = 0/2

    x = 0

    2x + 1 = -1

    2x = -1 - 1

    2x = -2

    x = -2/2

    x = -1

    ∴ x = -1 , 0


  2. 3 | 2x+1 |+8== 11

    3 | 2x+1 |== 11-8

    3 | 2x+1 | ==3

    | 2x+1 |== 1

    we have to resolve two equations:

    2x+1 == 1 and 2x+1 == -1

    the first one:

    2x+1 == 1 ===&gt; 2x == 0 ===&gt; x == 0

    the second one:

    2x+1 == -1

    2x== -2

    x == -1

    then the solutions are: x1== 0, x2== -1


  3. There are two steps to solve

    1) x&gt;=-1/2

    6x+3+8=11 ie   6x=0      x=0

    2) x&lt;-1/2

    -6x-3+8=11 ie - 6x=6     x=-1

    Answers: two solutions   x1=0 and x2=-1
