Solve the equation |4x+5|=|−29+4x|. Graph the solutions, if possible.

the graph line i was given cant go past/below -10 and 10...and because of this i cant figure this out T-T....

|4x+5|=|−29+4x|
4x + 5 = -29 + 4x OR 4x+5 = 29 - 4x
5 = -29 <--- no solution, or null set
or
8x = 24
x = 3

check:
LS = |4x+5| = |17| = 17
RS = |-29 + 12| = |-17| = 17

so x = 3 , which lies between -10 and +10 of your number line
thx u so much! i had it right then, i just thought i was doing the 5=-29 wrong
