Hi!
Let's solve the equation for x!
Step 1:
- Subtract 5 from both sides.
Now it's a little easier to solve! :')
Now, What does | | mean ?
Remember, It means "absolute value", and it's Always a positive number.
And this statement states: "take the absolute value of x-1, Whatever that happens to be, And it'll equal -3".
But that's impossible!
Therefore, this equation has no solutions.
I hope I helped you, have a wonderful day!
Good luck.
