Write the absolute value equations in the form

|x−b|=c (where b is a number and c can be either number or an expression) that have the following solution sets:

All numbers such that x≤5.

Explanation:

The problem asks to find the values "b" and "c" in a way that

the solutions of the equation |x - b| = c are x= 1/2 and x= -1/3.

It means that "b" is the center of the segment [-
(1)/(3) ,(1)/(2)].

This segment has the length
(1)/(2) - ( - (1)/(3) = (1)/(2) + (1)/(3) = (3)/(6) + (2)/(6) = (5)/(6) Hence, the half of this length is
(5)/(12).

Therefore, the center of the segment is
(1)/(2) - (5)/(12) = (6)/(12) - (5)/(12) = (1)/(12)

Thus the value of "b" is found: it is b =
(1)/(12).

Then the value of "c" is c =
(1)/(2) - (1)/(12) = (5)/(12).
