Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

Hello!

First, isolate the absolute value bracket.

  • |x - 1| + 5 = 2
  • |x - 1| = -3

Now think. Absolute value changes all values inside into their positive form. So the output should be a positive value. Here it is given as a negative value, so there are no solutions.
