Question

How do I solve this equation -3|x+5|+7=4

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−31x+51+7=4

(−31x)+(51+7)=4(Combine Like Terms)

−31x+58=4

−31x+58=4

Step 2: Subtract 58 from both sides.

−31x+58−58=4−58

−31x=−54

Step 3: Divide both sides by -31.

−31x / −31 = −54 / −31

x = 54 / 31
