Answer:

x = 8 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know x - 5 = 3 or x - 5 = -3.

Possibility 1:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides.

  • [tex]x-5+5=3+5[/tex]
  • [tex]x=8[/tex]

Possibility 2:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides.

  • [tex]x-5+5=-3+5[/tex]
  • [tex]x=2[/tex]

Step 2: Check if both solutions apply to original equation.

  • [tex]|8-5|=3[/tex]
  • [tex]|3|=3[/tex]
  • [tex]3=3[/tex]
  • [tex]|2-5|=3[/tex]
  • [tex]|-3|=3[/tex]
  • [tex]3=3[/tex]

Answer:
x = 8
x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate into two equations:

x - 5 = 3
x - 5 = -3

Now solve:
x - 5 = 3
+ 5 +5
x = 8

x - 5 = -3
+ 5 + 5
x = 2



Hope this helps!
