4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8
4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1
4|3x - 1| = 7
|3x - 1| = 7/4
Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or -7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:
3x - 1 = 7/4
and
3x - 1 = -7/4
So let's see:
3x - 1 = 7/4
3x = 7/4 + 1
3x = 11/4
x = 11/12
3x - 1 = -7/4
3x = -7/4 + 1
3x = -3/4
x = -1/4
So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = -1/4
Answer:
y=1x-9 That's the equation if you're trying to figure that out and the slope would be 1/1
When you see questions of this nature, test the individual inequalities and look out for their intersection.
For

Choose a point in the lower or upper half plane created by the line

The above line is the one which goes through the origin.
Now testing (1,0) yields,

That is,

This statement is true. So we shade the lower half of

For

We test for the origin because, it is not passing through the origin.

This yields

This statement is false so we shade the upper half.
The intersection is the region shaded in B. The top right graph
Let the required number is 2x ,
According to the condition,
➡ 10 times the sum of half of 2x and 6 = 8

Therefore the value of x is -5.2
And, required number is -5.2
