Answer: No Solution

Explanation:

When there are absolute values on both sides, you simply just get rid off the signs. (Normally, it results in positive and negative on the other side)

SOLVE:

Given

|-9-7x|=|23-7x|

No absolute value sign

-9-7x=23-7x

Add 7x on both sides

-9=23

ANSWER:

This is no solution, because -9≠23
