abs(4x+7)=abs(3-x)

You have to solve several cases: First drop the left sides abs value signs: \[\Large4x+7= \left| 3-x \right|\] OR \[\Large4x+7= - \left| 3-x \right|\] You can also start by dropping the abs values on the right: \[\Large \left| 4x+7 \right|= 3-x \] OR \[\Large - \left| 4x+7 \right|= 3-x \] Now solve all of those.

or you can do it by squaring both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

abs(4x+7)=abs(3-x) {abs(4+x)}^2 = {abs(3-x)}^2 (4+x)^2 = (3-x)^2

Now, solve for x
