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.
