Answer is <span>x = -7
...................................................</span>
|2x - 5| - 2 = 3 |add 2 to both sides
|2x - 5| = 5 ⇔ 2x - 5 = 5 or 2x - 5 = -5 |add 5 to both sides
2x = 10 or 2x = 0 |divide both sides by 2
x = 5 or x = 0

Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)
(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1
4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1
0= x²-8x
x²-8x=0
x²=8x
x=8
Use a calculator. I would walk you through it, but it should be simple.
