x= or

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 3| = 9 + 2x

We see the absolute value so we have to consider 2 cases:

(1)

4x + 3 = -9 - 2x

6x = -12

x = -2

(2)

4x + 3 = 9 + 2x

2x = 6

x = 3

Let's plug in both results.

|4(-2) + 3| = 9 + 2(-2)

|-5| = 9 - 4

5 = 5

Therefore x = -2 is a solution

|4(3) + 3| = 9 + 2(3)

|15| = 9 + 6

15 = 15

Therefore x = 3 is also a solution.
