57 = 7 + 2x
50 = 2x

x being the number of pages read last week
Hope this helps a little!!
The values that make this statement falser are any in which a and b do not have the same sign.
For instance, if a was equal to 3 and b was equal to -3 than see the results.
|a+b|=
|3+-3|=
|0|= 0
Then see the next equation with the same selections
|a|+|b|
|3|+|-3|
3 + 3 = 6
And this would be true no matter which is the negative, as long as there is one negative and one positive.
