Answer:
10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
|x+3|=4x-7
So |-(x+3)|=|x+3|
We are going to try out two cases:
-(x+3)=4x-7 and x+3=4x-7
-x-3=4x-7 3=3x-7
-3=5x-7 10=3x
4=5x x=10/3
x=4/5
We are going to test out both because we could something that isn't actually a solution, this is called extraneous.
First thing I'm going to check is 4x-7 for it being positive.
4(4/5)-7=20/5-7=-15/5=-3 so 4/5 will not work because absolute value result can't be negative
4(10/3)-7=40/3-7=19/3 which is positive
checking |x+3| to see if is 19/3 for x=10/3 we see that is so that is the answer
