solve in x∈R ∣ 3x−4 ∣ = x−5

$$\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{x}\in\mathbb{R} \\ $$$$\mid\:\mathrm{3x}−\mathrm{4}\:\mid\:=\:\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{5}\: \\ $$

when (3x−4)>0→ x>(4/3) (3x−4)=x−5 2x=−1 x=((−1)/5) but x=((−1)/5) does not follow condition x>(4/3) so x=((−1)/5) can not be a solution ★ now when (3x−4)<0 x<(4/3) −(3x−4)=x−5 −3x−x=−9 4x=9 x=(9/4) but x=(9/4) does not follow condition x<(4/3) So no solution

∣3x−4∣=x−5 Case A 3x−4≥0 3x−4=x−5 2x=−1 →x=−0.5 ∣3(−0.5)−4∣=^? (−0.5)−5 ∣−5.5∣=^? −5.5 5.5≠−5.5 ∴ x=−0.5 is not the solution. Case B 3x−4<0 3x−4=−(x−5) 4x=9 →x=2.25 ∣3(2.25)−4∣=^? 2.25−5 ∣−2.75∣=^? −2.75 2.75≠−2.75 ∴ x=2.25 is not the solution. no solution

∣ 3x−4∣ = x−5 , since ∣3x−4∣ ≥ 0 for all xεR then it follow that x≥5 consider ∣3x−4 ∣ = x−5 → { ((3x−4=x−5 )),((or )),((3x−4=5−x)) :} { ((2x=−1→x=−(1/2) (rejected))),((4x=9→x=(9/4) (rejected))) :} thus the equality has no solution or x = ∅ .
