Question

What is this |x−4| =1?
PLEASE HELP URGENT!!! ASAP!!!

Answer 1

x = 5 or x = 3

Explanation:

The absolute value function always returns a positive value.

However, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is

x - 4 = + 1 or x - 4 = -1

x - 4 = - 1 ⇒ x = - 1 + 4 = 3

OR

x - 4 = 1 ⇒ x = 1 + 4 = 5
