Hello please help!! $$\left| 3x-(4x-4) \right|=7$$

Question

anonymous · Answer

The ol absolute value probem. 

do you know how to get rid of the absolute value?

anonymous · Answer

im not very sure, im trying out the problem i just need the final solution to compare it with my result

anonymous · Answer

i have a bunch of these that's why lol

anonymous · Answer

Remember that the absolute value is the distance so you will have your LHS = 7 or -7

anonymous · Answer

sorry 7 and -7

anonymous · Answer

imagine if the value inside was equal to 7 then abs(7) = 7

now imagine if the value inside was equal to -7 then abs(-7) = 7

anonymous · Answer

spend a long time thinking about this!!! absolute values will haunt you until you grasp them

anonymous · Answer

haha i know man

anonymous · Answer

thank you very much

anonymous · Answer

wait so the final solution would be (-3.3) ???

anonymous · Answer

do you mean 3 and -3?

anonymous · Answer

yes the final coordinates

anonymous · Answer

there are no coordinates. just two solutions for x

anonymous · Answer

let me do the problem and check the answer

anonymous · Answer

oh yea sorry

anonymous · Answer

you got it!!! Now just make sure you understand why it is equal to 7 and -7!!! 

Soon you will see inequalities and you must understand absolute values to succed
