Q #1: Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below

A. x= -4/3 or x=2

B. x= -1 or x=2

C. x =-2 or x= 1

D. x= -3/2 or x= 1/2

Answer Explanation

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If u=a, a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=5, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -4/3 or 2.
