What is the solution to –2|2.2x – 3.3| = –6.6?

Answer
A
x = –3
B
x = 3
C
x = –3 or x = 0
D
x = 0 or x = 3

Explanation

Divide both sides by −2 to get |2.2x − 3.3| = 3.3. The expression inside the absolute value can equal 3.3 or −3.3. Solving gives x = 3 or x = 0, so the correct choice is “x = 0 or x = 3.”
