    4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8

    4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1

    4|3x - 1| = 7

    |3x - 1| = 7/4

    Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or - 7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:

    3x - 1 = 7/4

    and

    3x - 1 = - 7/4

    So let's see:

    3x - 1 = 7/4

    3x = 7/4 + 1

    3x = 11/4

    x = 11/12

    3x - 1 = - 7/4

    3x = - 7/4 + 1

    3x = - 3/4

    x = - 1/4

    So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = - 1/4
