The given function is an absolute value function. For f(x) = 4, it means that

(4 - 7x)/7 = 4 or (4 - 7x)/7 = - 4

Multiplying the right hand side by 7, we have

4 - 7x = 28 or 4 - 7x = - 28

7x = 4 - 28 or 7x = 4 + 28

7x = - 24 or 7x = 32

x = - 24/7 or x = 32/7

The required values of x are

x = - 24/7 and x = 32/7
