Solution for abs(x+1)=abs(x-3) equation:


Simplifying
abs(x + 1) = abs(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
abs(1 + x) = abs(x + -3)
(1 * abs + x * abs) = abs(x + -3)
(1abs + absx) = abs(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
1abs + absx = abs(-3 + x)
1abs + absx = (-3 * abs + x * abs)
1abs + absx = (-3abs + absx)

Add '-1absx' to each side of the equation.
1abs + absx + -1absx = -3abs + absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: absx + -1absx = 0
1abs + 0 = -3abs + absx + -1absx
1abs = -3abs + absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: absx + -1absx = 0
1abs = -3abs + 0
1abs = -3abs

Solving
1abs = -3abs

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '3abs' to each side of the equation.
1abs + 3abs = -3abs + 3abs

Combine like terms: 1abs + 3abs = 4abs
4abs = -3abs + 3abs

Combine like terms: -3abs + 3abs = 0
4abs = 0

Divide each side by '4'.
abs = 0

Simplifying
abs = 0
