Question

How would I solve |3x-4|=-12?

Answer 1

keep in mind that absolute values represent distance

so for example

|-3| = 3

since this basically says "the number -3 is 3 units away from 0"

Answer 2

so it's impossible for an absolute value function to produce a negative result

something like

|x| = -3

is impossible because distances from zero (along the number line) aren't negative

Thanks! :D
