What is the sum of all the solutions of $x=|2x-|60-2x||$?
求方程 $x=|2x-|60-2x||$ 所有解之和。
(A) 32 32
(B) 60 60
(C) 92 92
(D) 120 120
(E) 124 124
Answer
Correct choice: (C)
正确答案:(C)
Solution
If $60-2x>0$, then $|2x-|60-2x||=|4x-60|$. Solving $x=4x-60$ and $x=-(4x-60)$ results in $x=20$ and $x=12$, respectively, both of which satisfy the original equation. If $60-2x<0$, then $|2x-|60-2x||=|2x+60-2x|=60$. Note that $x=60$ satisfies the original equation. The sum of the solutions is $12+20+60=92$.
若 $60-2x>0$,则 $|2x-|60-2x||=|4x-60|$。解 $x=4x-60$ 得 $x=20$,$x=-(4x-60)$ 得 $x=12$,两者均满足原方程。若 $60-2x<0$,则 $|2x-|60-2x||=|2x+60-2x|=60$。注意 $x=60$ 满足原方程。解的和为 $12+20+60=92$。
