Answer:

|x-5|=2

Explanation:

1- Find the mid value between the given numbers 3 and 7

(3+7)/2= 10/2 = 5

2- Find the difference btween the mid value (5) and any of the two given numbers (3 or 7). Use the absolute value for the difference.

|5-3|= 2 or |7-5|=2

3- Arrange the absolute equation like this:

|x-mid value from step 1|= absolute difference from step 2

|x-5|=2

4- Double check the answer with the given values 3 and 7 using our equation |x-5|=2

|3-5|=2 correct

|7-5|=2 correct
