Question

Anyone mind helping a girl out???

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf`

`\large\text{Add }\rm{-5}\large\text{ to both sides: }`

`\mathsf + 5 - 5 = 2 - 5`

`\large\text{Simplify it:}`

`\mathsf`

`\mathsf = -3`

`\large\text{Since, the absolute value is SMALLER than 0, we have no solutions}`

`\huge\boxed{\text{Answer: }\mathsf{No\ solutions}}`
`\huge\checkmark`

Answer 2

Hi!

Let's solve the equation for x!

`\mid\bold{x-1\mid+5=2}`

Step 1:

• Subtract 5 from both sides.

`\bold{\mid x-1\mid=-3}`

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.
