Answer:
C, 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 I2x -1I + 4 = 16
Isolate absolute value:
3 I2x -1I + 4 - 4 = 16 - 4
3 I2x -1I= 12
(3 I2x -1I) / 3 = 12 / 3
I2x -1I= 4
Since the question is only asking for the positive, all you need to solve for is the +4. Solve for x
2x -1 = 4
2x -1 + 1 = 4 +1
2x = 5
2x / 2 = 5 / 2
x = 5/2 or C
