Question

Solve the equation |4x+5|=|−29+4x|.

Answer 1

Explanation:

4x+5|=|−29+4x|

4x + 5 = -29 + 4x OR 4x+5 = 29 - 4x

5 = -29 <--- no solution, or null set

or

8x = 24

x = 3

check:

LS = |4x+5| = |17| = 17

RS = |-29 + 12| = |-17| = 17

so x = 3 , which lies between -10 and +10 of your number line
