We have to find x given that 26|2x+1|=52.
26|2x+1|=52
cancel 26 from both the sides.
=> |2x + 1| = 2
Now |x| represents the absolute value of x and has the same value for x as well as -x.
=> 2x + 1 = 2 and 2x + 1...

26|2x+1|=52
cancel 26 from both the sides.
=> |2x + 1| = 2
Now |x| represents the absolute value of x and has the same value for x as well as -x.
=> 2x + 1 = 2 and 2x + 1 = -2
=> 2x = 1 and 2x = -3
=> x = 1/2 and x = -3/2
Therefore we get x is equal to 1/2 and -3/2
