Recalling Absolute Value Calibration Procedures

In quality control inspections and manufacturing tolerance validation, technicians must frequently model boundaries using absolute value equations. Suppose you are documenting standard operating procedures for new calibration technicians. Recall and write out the step-by-step algebraic procedure to solve the two primary reference model equations used in our training simulations:

  1. 3x51=6|3x - 5| - 1 = 6
  2. 4x35=2|4x - 3| - 5 = 2

For each equation, explain how to isolate the absolute value, state the two equivalent linear equations generated, and provide the final simplified solutions as integers or simplified fractions to demonstrate the complete solving process.
