1) To solve x + 4 = |x - 7|, we need to consider two cases:
Case 1: When x - 7 is greater than or equal to 0 (x - 7 >= 0)x + 4 = x - 7x + 4 - x = -74 = -7 (Not possible)
Case 2: When x - 7 is less than 0 (x - 7 < 0)x + 4 = -(x - 7)x + 4 = -x + 7x + x = 7 - 42x = 3x = 3/2
Therefore, the solution to x + 4 = |x - 7| is x = 3/2.
2) To solve x + 1 = |x - 9|, we need to consider two cases as well:
Case 1: When x - 9 is greater than or equal to 0 (x - 9 >= 0)x + 1 = x - 9x + 1 - x = -91 = -9 (Not possible)
Case 2: When x - 9 is less than 0 (x - 9 < 0)x + 1 = -(x - 9)x + 1 = -x + 9x + x = 9 - 12x = 8x = 4
Therefore, the solution to x + 1 = |x - 9| is x = 4.
1) To solve x + 4 = |x - 7|, we need to consider two cases:
Case 1: When x - 7 is greater than or equal to 0 (x - 7 >= 0)
x + 4 = x - 7
x + 4 - x = -7
4 = -7 (Not possible)
Case 2: When x - 7 is less than 0 (x - 7 < 0)
x + 4 = -(x - 7)
x + 4 = -x + 7
x + x = 7 - 4
2x = 3
x = 3/2
Therefore, the solution to x + 4 = |x - 7| is x = 3/2.
2) To solve x + 1 = |x - 9|, we need to consider two cases as well:
Case 1: When x - 9 is greater than or equal to 0 (x - 9 >= 0)
x + 1 = x - 9
x + 1 - x = -9
1 = -9 (Not possible)
Case 2: When x - 9 is less than 0 (x - 9 < 0)
x + 1 = -(x - 9)
x + 1 = -x + 9
x + x = 9 - 1
2x = 8
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to x + 1 = |x - 9| is x = 4.
