Answer:

x=17, x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equalitiy entered

     |x-5|-2 = 10  

Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.

     |x-5| = 12  

Step  2  :

Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is |x-5|

For the Negative case we'll use -(x-5)  

For the Positive case we'll use (x-5)  

Step  3  :

Solve the Negative Case

     -(x-5) = 12  

    Multiply

     -x+5 = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     -x = 7  

    Multiply both sides by (-1)

     x = -7  

    Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Step  4  :

Solve the Positive Case

     (x-5) = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     x = 17  

    Which is the solution for the Positive Case

Step  5  :

Wrap up the solution

x=-7

x=17
