∣ 4 x - 3 ∣ = 17

x = - \frac{7}{2} or x = 5

Decimal Notation

x = - 3.5, x = 5

Solution steps

∣ 4 x - 3 ∣ = 17

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

4 x - 3 = - 17 or 4 x - 3 = 17

4 x - 3 = - 17 or 4 x - 3 = 17

x = - \frac{7}{2} or x = 5

4 c = 64

3 x^{2} + 12 x + 17 = 5

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{1 - x} > 0

6 x^{2} + 12 x

- ∣ 4 x - 7 ∣ \geq 3
