Let;


  • |x-a|=b

can be written as;


  • x-a=b and
    x-a=-b if
    b > 0

We've got two different equations. If we solve them, we'll get the result.


  • x+3=5

  • x+3=-5

According to this inequality, the elements containing our solution set should be as follows;


  • x_(1)=-8

  • x_(2)=2
