To solve each equation, we need to isolate the variable inside the absolute value and then solve for x.
1) |2 + 7x| = 0 The absolute value of any number is always non-negative, so the absolute value of any number cannot be equal to 0 unless the number inside the absolute value is 0. Therefore, we have 2 + 7x = 0 Solving for x: 7x = -2 x = -2/7
2) |8x - 5| = 0 Similarly, the absolute value of any number cannot be equal to 0 unless the number inside the absolute value is 0. Therefore, we have 8x - 5 = 0 Solving for x: 8x = 5 x = 5/8
3) |9 - 10x| = 0 Using the same principle, we have 9 - 10x = 0 Solving for x: 10x = 9 x = 9/10
Therefore, the solutions to the given equations are: 1) x = -2/7 2) x = 5/8 3) x = 9/10
To solve each equation, we need to isolate the variable inside the absolute value and then solve for x.

The absolute value of any number is always non-negative, so the absolute value of any number cannot be equal to 0 unless the number inside the absolute value is 0.
Therefore, we have 2 + 7x = 0
Solving for x:
7x = -2
x = -2/7
2) |8x - 5| = 0
Similarly, the absolute value of any number cannot be equal to 0 unless the number inside the absolute value is 0.
Therefore, we have 8x - 5 = 0
Solving for x:
8x = 5
x = 5/8
3) |9 - 10x| = 0
Using the same principle, we have 9 - 10x = 0
Solving for x:
10x = 9
x = 9/10
Therefore, the solutions to the given equations are:
1) x = -2/7
2) x = 5/8
3) x = 9/10
