x = - 1.5, x = 4

Solution steps

11 = ∣ 5 - 4 x ∣

Switch sides

∣ 5 - 4 x ∣ = 11

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

5 - 4 x = - 11 or 5 - 4 x = 11

5 - 4 x = - 11 or 5 - 4 x = 11

x = - \frac{3}{2} or x = 4

- 3 ∣ 5 x - 2 ∣ = - 12

4 \frac{2 x}{3} = 14

- 7 ∣ c ∣ = 0

\frac{6 x + 2}{4} = 5
