SOLUTION: (i)Use the definition of absolute value to solve each equation, (ii) Graph the solution |3x-4| =8

Question 1164497: (i)Use the definition of absolute value to solve each equation,
(ii) Graph the solution

|3x-4| =8
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

|3x-4| = 8

What's between the absolute value bars can be either +8 or -8,
so we make two equations to cover both cases:

3x-4 = 8    OR    3x-4 = -8
  3x = 12           3x = -4
   x = 4             x =
