The first step in solving 7- |4x+1| =-2 is to write the equation as 7-4x+1=-2 and 7-4x+1=2
True or false

The answer is False

Explanation:

The expression is

The first step in solving the expression is to bring the expression in the form

Thus, writing the expression in the form of

Thus, the first step is to write the expression in the form of

Thus, Subtracting both sides of the equation by 7, we get,

Dividing both sides by -1, we get,

Thus, we have,

Hence, the first step of the expression is which is not equivalent to the equation and

Hence, the answer is false.
