Simplifying
10 + 5x = 5x + 10
Reorder the terms:
10 + 5x = 10 + 5x
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
5x = 0 + 5x
5x = 5x
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
5x + -5x = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
Answer: 0 solutions
You’re answer would be x=7
So what do you need us to do for you?
When you take the absolute value of this equation, the answer should actually be 3.
You should solve the what’s inside first. If the answer is negative, then the absolute value will make it positive.
For example
|1-5|=|-4|=4
