Solve the absolute value equation. |3x-4|=5

Absolute values are a way of finding a distant from zero, which means there will be 2 answers; one will be positive, and the other will be negative.

Because you need 2 answers, you have to make 5 positive and negative.

Another way to write this equation would be...
5=|3x-4|=—5

Now lets continue...
5=3x-4=—5

Add 4 to both sides...
9=3x=—1

Now divide by 3...
3=x=

So the solution is...
X={, 3}

Ucan draw that on a graph sheet and count the no. of units and apply the area formula of rectangle
