∣ 3 x - 4 ∣ = 11

x = - \frac{7}{3} or x = 5

Decimal Notation

x = - 2.33333 \dots, x = 5

Solution steps

∣ 3 x - 4 ∣ = 11

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

3 x - 4 = - 11 or 3 x - 4 = 11

3 x - 4 = - 11 or 3 x - 4 = 11

x = - \frac{7}{3} or x = 5

∣ x + 1 ∣ = x - 3

∣ x + 1 ∣ = x - 1

∣ 5 x - 1 ∣ = x - 2

∣ 8 x + 12 - 7 x ∣ + 3 x - 2 = 0

2 ∣ x + 1 ∣ = - 6
