Question

Find the largest value of x that satisfies the equation |5x − 1| = x + 3.

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Since you are going for the largest value of x that satisfies the equation, you don't need to worry about negative numbers, and therefore don't need to worry about the absolute value.

5x-1=x+3

5x=x+4

4x=4

x=1
