Q. Solve for all values of x x in simplest form.\newline454x+3=26 4-5|4 x+3|=-26 \newlineAnswer: x= x=
  1. Isolate absolute value: Isolate the absolute value expression.\newlineAdd 54x+35|4x + 3| to both sides to isolate the absolute value on one side.\newline454x+3+54x+3=26+54x+34 - 5|4x + 3| + 5|4x + 3| = -26 + 5|4x + 3|\newline4+54x+3=26+54x+34 + 5|4x + 3| = -26 + 5|4x + 3|\newline4+54x+3=26+54x+34 + 5|4x + 3| = -26 + 5|4x + 3|\newlineSubtract 44 from both sides.\newline44+54x+3=2644 - 4 + 5|4x + 3| = -26 - 4\newline54x+3=305|4x + 3| = -30
  2. Add to both sides: Divide both sides by 55 to solve for the absolute value.\newline54x+35=305\frac{5|4x + 3|}{5} = \frac{-30}{5}\newline4x+3=6|4x + 3| = -6\newlineNotice that the absolute value of a number cannot be negative, which means there is no solution to this equation.
