Solution for abs(7x+12)=abs(x-8) equation:


Simplifying
abs(7x + 12) = abs(x + -8)

Reorder the terms:
abs(12 + 7x) = abs(x + -8)
(12 * abs + 7x * abs) = abs(x + -8)
(12abs + 7absx) = abs(x + -8)

Reorder the terms:
12abs + 7absx = abs(-8 + x)
12abs + 7absx = (-8 * abs + x * abs)
12abs + 7absx = (-8abs + absx)

Solving
12abs + 7absx = -8abs + absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8abs' to each side of the equation.
12abs + 8abs + 7absx = -8abs + 8abs + absx

Combine like terms: 12abs + 8abs = 20abs
20abs + 7absx = -8abs + 8abs + absx

Combine like terms: -8abs + 8abs = 0
20abs + 7absx = 0 + absx
20abs + 7absx = absx

Add '-1absx' to each side of the equation.
20abs + 7absx + -1absx = absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: 7absx + -1absx = 6absx
20abs + 6absx = absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: absx + -1absx = 0
20abs + 6absx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2abs'.
2abs(10 + 3x) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'abs' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying abs = 0 Solving abs = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying abs = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
