Solve the equation: |5x - 2| - 2 = 6

 |5x - 2| - 2 = 6


Since there
is an absolute bar your should know that there should be 2
answers 


First add 2 on both
sides


By adding, your equation should look
like


|5x - 2| = 8 since there's an
absolute value sign,  change your equation
to


5x - 2 = -8 and 5x - 2 =
now add 2 on both sides of both
equation


By adding, your equation should look
like


5x = -6  and 5x = 10 now
divide both sides of both equation by 5


By dividing it
should look like


x = -6/5  and x =
which are your answers

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
