∣ 7 x - 12 ∣ = 23

x = - \frac{11}{7} or x = 5

Solution steps

∣ 7 x - 12 ∣ = 23

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

7 x - 12 = - 23 or 7 x - 12 = 23

7 x - 12 = - 23 or 7 x - 12 = 23

x = - \frac{11}{7} or x = 5

0 = ∣ 4 - x ∣

∣ - 2 a + 1 ∣ = 3

- 10 ∣ 2 v + 7 ∣ = 10

- 4 ∣ 3 x - 2 ∣ = 2

- 4 ∣ x + 3 ∣ = - 12
