Answer
x=-$\frac{1}{3}$
x=-3
Work Step by Step
Original Equation
|3x+5|=|-4|
Take the absolute value of -4
|3x+5|=4
Take 3x+5 and solve
3x+5=4
Subtract 5 from both side
3x=-1
Divide both sides by 3
x=-$\frac{1}{3}$
Make 3x+5 negative and solve
-3x-5=4
Add 5 to both sides
-3x=9
Divide both sides by -3
x=-3
