Question

|5x−7| =3 help please

Answer 1

x=2 or x= 4/5

Explanation:

Negative case: -(5x-7) = 3

Multiply

-5x+7 = 3

Rearrange and Add up

-5x = -4

Divide both sides by 5

-x = -(4/5)

Multiply both sides by (-1)

x = (4/5)

Then find the positive case: (5x-7) = 3

Rearrange and Add up

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

x = 2
