solve for x 7 l 3x-4 l + 8 = 15

We'll subtract 8 both
sides:


7 l 3x-4 l = 15 - 8


7 l
3x-4 l = 7


We'll divide by
7:


 l 3x-4 l = 1


We'll have 2
cases:


1) 3x-4 for 3x-4
>=0


We'll add 4 both
sides:


3x>=4


We'll
divide by 3:


x>=4/3


The
interval of admissible values for x is [4/3 ,
+infinite)


We'll solve the
equation:


3x-4 = 1


We'll add 4
both sides:


3x = 5


x =
5/3


 Since x = 5/3 belongs to the interval [4/3 ,
+infinite), the equation has the solution x = 5/3.


2) -3x+4
for 3x-4 <0


The solution of the equation has to
belong to the interval


(-infinite, 
4/3)

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
