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
