Question

The table below shows two equations:

Answer 1

Equation 1

Subtracting 5 from both sides we have

|2x - 3| = -1      - Since  an absolute values must be positive this equation has no solutions.

Equation 2:-

|5x + 3| - 10 = 3

|5x + 3| = 13

either 5x + 3 = 13  or 5x + 3 = -13

so x = 2   or x =  -16/5 = -3.2

The correct choice is B
