Question

What is the solution to the problem in the picture below?

Answer 1

 this equation ( /2x-1/=5)can be solved if we solve the following equations:
2x-1=5
2x-1=-5

1)We solve the first equation: 
2x-1=5
2x=5+1
2x=6
x=6/2
x=2

2) we solve the second equation.
2x-1=-5
2x=-5+1
2x=4
x=-4/2
x=-2

The solutions of this equation /2x-1/=5 will be: x=3 and x=-2

Answer: x=3 and x=-2
