Answer:
the lines represent absolute value bars
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1: Move all terms not containing |5−x| to the right side of the equation.
STEP 2: Divide each term by 3 and simplify.
STEP 3: Remove the absolute value term. This creates a ± on the right side of the equation because |x|=±x.
<em>5-x=±5</em>
STEP 4: Set up the positive portion of the ± solution.
STEP 5: Solve the first equation for x.
STEP 6: Set up the negative portion of the ± solution.
STEP 7: Solve the second equation for x.
NOTE: The solution to the equation includes both the positive and negative portions of the solution.
