Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1/2  or x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 5| = 4

There are two solutions to the absolute value equation, one positive and one negative

2x - 5 = 4  and  2x - 5 =- 4

Add 5 to all sides

2x - 5+5 = 4+5  or  2x - 5+5 =- 4+5

2x = 9               or  2x = 1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 9/2              2x/2 = 1/2

x = 9/2                     x = 1/2

x = 1/2  or x = 4/5
