How to use it?
- Equation:
-
Equation 4*x=0
-
Equation 7*x=0
-
Equation 4x+3(x-7)=5
- Equation z^3=i
- Express {x} in terms of y where:
- 14*x-17*y=-4
- 18*x-10*y=-9
- 6*x+16*y=-7
- 2*x-16*y=14
- Graphing y =:
- |x-4|+|x+4|
-
Identical expressions
- |x- four |+|x+ four |=a
- module of x minus 4| plus |x plus 4| equally a
- module of x minus four | plus |x plus four | equally a

The solution
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.
1.
$$x - 4 \geq 0$$
$$x + 4 \geq 0$$
or
$$4 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$- a + \left(x - 4\right) + \left(x + 4\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- a + 2 x = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = \frac{a}{2}$$
2.
$$x - 4 \geq 0$$
$$x + 4 < 0$$
The inequality system has no solutions, see the next condition
3.
$$x - 4 < 0$$
$$x + 4 \geq 0$$
or
$$-4 \leq x \wedge x < 4$$
we get the equation
$$- a + \left(4 - x\right) + \left(x + 4\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$8 - a = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
4.
$$x - 4 < 0$$
$$x + 4 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < -4$$
we get the equation
$$- a + \left(4 - x\right) + \left(- x - 4\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- a - 2 x = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = - \frac{a}{2}$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{a}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{a}{2}$$
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.
