Write as a Function of x |x|+3y=4

$| x | + 3 y = 4$

Step 1

Subtract $| x |$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 4 - | x |$

Step 2

Divide each term in $3 y = 4 - | x |$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 4 - | x |$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{- | x |}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{- | x |}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{- | x |}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = \frac{4}{3} - \frac{| x |}{3}$

Step 3

To rewrite as a function of $x$ , write the equation so that $y$ is by itself on one side of the equal sign and an expression involving only $x$ is on the other side.

$f (x) = \frac{4}{3} - \frac{| x |}{3}$

Write as a Function of x |x|+3y=4
