Explanation:

Given equation in question;

4 + 2|3x + 4| = -4

Find:

Value of given expression

Computation:

4 + 2|3x + 4| = -4

Using BODMAS rule;

⇒ 4 + 2|3x + 4| = -4

⇒ 2|3x + 4| = - 4 - 4

⇒ 2|3x + 4| = - 8

⇒ |3x + 4| = - 8 / 2

⇒ |3x + 4| = - 4

⇒ 3x + 4 = - 8

⇒ 3x = -8 - 4

⇒ 3x = -12

⇒ x = -12 / 3

⇒ x = -4

Value of given expression x is -4
