Answer:

x = -2/7 or

x = 6/7

Explanation:

|7x-2| + 3 = -1 subtract 3 from both sides

|7x-2| = -4 now there are two probabilities

7x-2 = -4 or

7x-2 = 4 if first probability the value of x would be:

7x-2 = -4 add 2 to both sides

7x = -2 divide both sides by 7

x = -2/7 for the second probability the value of x would be:

7x-2 = 4 add 2 to both sides

7x = 6 divide both sides by 7

x = 6/7
