Answer:

x = 3/2

Explanation:

Given the expression

9|4/3x-2| + 7 = 7

First note that the value in parenthesis can both be negative and positive;

For the positive value, we have;

9(4/3x-2) + 7 = 7

Subtract 7 from both sides

9(4/3x-2) + 7 - 7 = 7 - 7

9(4/3x-2) = 0

Open the parenthesis

9(4/3x) - 9(2) = 0

36/3 x - 18 = 0

12x - 18 = 0

Add 18 to both sides

12x -18+18 = 0+18

12x = 18

x = 18/12

x = 3/2

Hence the value of x is 3/2
