The solution

You have entered [src]
4*|-x| - 5*(|x| - 4) = 3*|x|
$$- 5 \left(\left|{x}\right| - 4\right) + 4 \left|{- x}\right| = 3 \left|{x}\right|$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

1.
$$x \geq 0$$
or
$$0 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$20 - 4 x = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$20 - 4 x = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = 5$$

2.
$$x < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < 0$$
we get the equation
$$20 - 4 \left(- x\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$4 x + 20 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = -5$$


The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 5$$
$$x_{2} = -5$$

Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -5
$$x_{1} = -5$$
x2 = 5
$$x_{2} = 5$$
