Answer:

subtract 2 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

2+|4x-3|=7

|4x-3|+2=7

step 1:add -2 to both sides/subtract 2 from both sides (they are the same)

Step 2: Solve Absolute Value.

|4x−3|=5

We know either4x−3=5 or 4x−3=−5

4x−3=5(Possibility 1)

4x−3+3=5+3(Add 3 to both sides)

4x=8

4x /4=8/4

(Divide both sides by 4)

x=2

4x−3=−5 (Possibility 2)

4x−3+3=−5+3 (Add 3 to both sides)

4x=−2

4x /4 = −2 /4

(Divide both sides by 4)

x= −1 /2

Answer:

x=2 or x= −1 /2

The first step in solving the equation is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

The given equation;

2 + |4x−3| = 7

To solve the above equation, the first step is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation as shown below;

2 + |4x−3| = 7

2 + |4x−3| - 2 = 7 - 2

|4x−3|  = 5

The next would be to form two equations;

-(4x - 3) = 5     and    4x - 3 = 5

from the above two equations, you determine the value of x.

Thus, the first step in solving the equation is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
