Question

What is the solution to 4|0.5x – 2.5| = 0?

Answer 1

4|0.5x - 2.5| = 0

|4(0.5x - 2.5)| = 0

|2x - 10| = 0 ⇔ 2x - 10 = 0 |add 10 to both sides

2x = 10 |divide both sides by 2

x = 5

Answer 2

The solution of the given equation is 5.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`4|0.5x-2.5|=0`

Divide both sides by 4.

`|0.5x-2.5|=0`

`0.5x-2.5=0`

Add 2.5 on both the sides.

`0.5x-2.5+2.5=0+2.5`

`0.5x=2.5`

Divide both sides by 0.5.

`x=(2.5)/(0.5)`

`x=5`

The value of x is 5.

Therefore the solution of the given equation is 5.
