The solution

You have entered [src]
|2*x - 7| = 7*x - 2
$$\left|{2 x - 7}\right| = 7 x - 2$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

1.
$$2 x - 7 \geq 0$$
or
$$\frac{7}{2} \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$- 7 x + \left(2 x - 7\right) + 2 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- 5 x - 5 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = -1$$
but x1 not in the inequality interval

2.
$$2 x - 7 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < \frac{7}{2}$$
we get the equation
$$- 7 x + \left(7 - 2 x\right) + 2 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$9 - 9 x = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = 1$$


The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 1$$
