The solution

You have entered [src]
|4*x + 1| = 0
$$\left|{4 x + 1}\right| = 0$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

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

2.
$$4 x + 1 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < - \frac{1}{4}$$
we get the equation
$$- 4 x - 1 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- 4 x - 1 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{4}$$
but x2 not in the inequality interval


The final answer:
$$x_{1} = - \frac{1}{4}$$
