Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the equation to be
| 3x - 4 | = 5, then there are 2 possible solutions
3x - 4 = 5 or 3x - 4 = - 5 ( add 4 to both sides of both equations )
3x = 9 or 3x = - 1 ( divide both sides by 3 in both equations )
x = 3 or x = -
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 3
| 9 - 4 | = | 5 | = 5 ← correct
x = -
| - 1 - 4 | = | - 5 | = 5 ← correct

Answer:
The Product is negative three (-3)
WHILE
The number is negative one (-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since seven more than the product gives 4.
This means 7 + product = 4
By subtracting 7 from both sides we get product as -3.
And since the product of the number and 3 is equal the product
This means number X 3 = -3
By dividing three from both sides you get -1.
