Answer:
x = 1/2 or x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
abs(7 - 4 x) = 5
Split the equation into two possible cases:
7 - 4 x = 5 or 7 - 4 x = -5
Subtract 7 from both sides:
-4 x = -2 or 7 - 4 x = -5
Divide both sides by -4:
x = 1/2 or 7 - 4 x = -5
Subtract 7 from both sides:
x = 1/2 or -4 x = -12
Divide both sides by -4:
Answer: x = 1/2 or x = 3
