Equation #1:
|2x - 3| = 17
The first solution is
2x - 3 = 17
2x = 17 + 3 = 20
x = 10
The second solution is
3 - 2x = 17
-2x = 17 - 3 = 14
x = -7
The solutions are x = 10 or x = -7.

Equation #2:
|5x + 3| = 12
The only solution is
5x + 3 = 12
5x = 12 - 3 = 9
x = 9/5

Let us examine the given answers.
a. Equation #1 and #2 have the same number of solutions.
    FALSE
b. Equation @1 has more solutions than Equation #2.
    TRUE
c. Equation #1 has fewer solutions than equation #2.
    FALSE
d. None of the statements a,b, or c apply.
    FALSE

Answer: b.
