Question

Solve | x-1|+5=2 graph the solution (s), if possible.

Answer 1

x = -2, 4

Explanation:

find the solutions by first subtracting 5 from both sides.

|x-1| = -3

create 2 equations, one with pos. 3 and one with neg. 3.

|x-1| = -3

|x-1| = 3

solve both equations. you can ignore the absolute value signs now.

x = -2

x = 4

those are your two solutions!
