|x|=4,5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
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
$$x - \frac{9}{2} = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$x - \frac{9}{2} = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = \frac{9}{2}$$
2.
$$x < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < 0$$
we get the equation
$$- x - \frac{9}{2} = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- x - \frac{9}{2} = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = - \frac{9}{2}$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{9}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{9}{2}$$

$$- \frac{9}{2} + \frac{9}{2}$$
$$0$$
$$- \frac{81}{4}$$
$$- \frac{81}{4}$$
$$x_{1} = - \frac{9}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{9}{2}$$
