Question

|x-1|+5=2 also this question

Answer 1

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no values of  x  that make the equation true.

Answer 2

Answer: No solutions

==========================================

Explanation:

Start things off by subtracting 5 from both sides

|x-1|+5 = 2

|x-1|+5-5 = 2-5

|x-1| = -3

We cannot go any further after this point. The result of any absolute value is never negative. The absolute value represents distance from some number to 0. For example, saying |-7| = 7 means -7 is seven units away from 0 on a number line. Negative distance does not make sense.

So going back to |x-1| = -3 makes no sense as well. There are no numbers we can plug in for x to have |x-1| = -3 be true.

The equation |x-1| = -3 has no solutions, so the original equation doesn't have any solutions either.
