Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, quickly mulitply the bracket by the number outside

`\begin{gathered} 3\left|3x-4\right|=24 \\ \text{multiply 3 through } \\ 12x-12=24 \\ \text{collect like terms and make x the subject of formula} \\ 12x=24+12 \\ 12x=36 \\ \end{gathered}`

step 3

divide both sides by 12

`\begin{gathered} (12x)/(12)=(36)/(12) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}`
