let's bear in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise expression,  namely it has a ± versions of the same expression.

\bf 5|3x-4| = x+1\implies |3x-4|=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies \begin{cases} +(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\\[1em] -(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ +(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies 3x-4=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies 15x-20=x+1 \\\\\\ 14x-20=1\implies 14x=21\implies x = \cfrac{21}{14}\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{3}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -(3x-4)=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies -3x+4=\cfrac{x+1}{5}\implies -15x+20=x+1 \\\\\\ 20=16x+1\implies 19=16x\implies \boxed{\cfrac{19}{16}=x}

Consider the function f(x)=−3x+3 on the interval [−8,4]. Find the absolute extrema for the function on the given interval. Expre
Nikitich [7]

By means of <em>functions</em> theory and the characteristics of <em>linear</em> equations, the <em>absolute</em> extrema of the <em>linear</em> equation f(x) = - 3 · x + 3 are 27 (<em>absolute</em> maximum) for x = - 8 and - 9 (<em>absolute</em> minimum) for x = 4. (- 8, 27) and (4, - 9).

<h3>What are the absolute extrema of a linear equation within a closed interval?</h3>

According to the functions theory, <em>linear</em> equations have no absolute extrema for all <em>real</em> numbers, but things are different for any <em>closed</em> interval as <em>absolute</em> extrema are the ends of <em>linear</em> function. Now we proceed to evaluate the function at each point:

Absolute maximum

f(- 8) = - 3 · (- 8) + 3

f(- 8) = 27

Absolute minimum

f(4) = - 3 · 4 + 3

f(4) = - 9

By means of <em>functions</em> theory and the characteristics of <em>linear</em> equations, the <em>absolute</em> extrema of the <em>linear</em> equation f(x) = - 3 · x + 3 are 27 (<em>absolute</em> maximum) for x = - 8 and - 9 (<em>absolute</em> minimum) for x = 4. (- 8, 27) and (4, - 9).
