Solve the equation   3|4x+1|-4=2.
---------------------------------------------------

Re-write it as   |4x+1| = = 2.

If  |4x+1| >= 0,  then |4x+1| = 4x+1,  and the equation takes the form

4x+1 = 2.

Solve it:

4x = 2-1,   4x = 1,   x = .


If  |4x+1| < 0,  then |4x+1| = -(4x+1),  and the equation takes the form

-4x-1 = 2.

Solve it:

-4x = 2+1,   4x = -3,   x = .

Check yourself that both solutions are correct.

Answer.  x =  and  x = .
