Solution
1)
|5x +2/3| = |x -1/4|
(5x+2/3) and (x-1/4)>0
5x +2/3 = x-1/4
4x = -1/4 -2/3
= (-3-8)/12
x = -11/48
for (5x+2/3) > and (x-1/4)<0
5x +2/3 = - (x- 1/4)
5x +2/3 = -x +1/4
6x = 1/4 -2/3
6x = (3 -8)/12
x = -5/72
Solution : x= -11/12 , -5/72
2) |x-2 |>=4
x-2 >0 \' x-2 >=4
x>= 6
x-2<0 ; -(x-2) >=4
-x +2 >=4
x<= -2
Solution : (-inf, -2] U [ 6 , inf)
|x +2| <=4
for x+2>0;
x+2 <=4
x<=2
x+2<0 ; -x -2 <=4
x>=-6
Solution : [-6 , 2]
