Question

Solve -3 |2x+3| -4 = 1

Answer 1

Answer: x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate the absolute value.

+ 3 to each side.

|2x + 3| - 4 = 4

Then, add 4 more to each side.

|2x + 3| = 8

Subtract 3 from each side.

|2x| = 5

Divide each side by 2

|x| = 1.5

Answer 2

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3|2x+3|-4=1$

$-3|2x+3|=1+4$

$-3|2x+3|=5$

${\left|2x+3\right|}=\frac{5}{-3}$

The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero.
