Question

Solve. Show Work . |2x-1|=5

Answer 1

|2x-1|=5 2x-1=5 2x-1=-5
+1 +1 +1 +1
2x=6 2x= -4
2/2 6/2 2/2 -4/2
x=3 x= -2
Thats the answer and the way you solve it.

Answer 2

1 Break down the problem into these 2 equations
2x-1=52x−1=5-(2x-1)=5−(2x−1)=5
2 Solve the 1st equation: 2x-1=52x−1=5 (
)
x=3x=3
3 Solve the 2nd equation: -(2x-1)=5−(2x−1)=5 (
)
x=-2x=−2
4 Collect all solutions
x=-2,3x=−2,3
