Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the solution to the equation |x - 3| = 5?
  • Step 1: Understand that |x - 3| means the distance of (x - 3) from 0.
  • Step 2: Set up two separate equations because the absolute value can be positive or negative.
  • Step 3: First equation: x - 3 = 5. Solve for x by adding 3 to both sides: x = 5 + 3, which gives x = 8.
  • Step 4: Second equation: x - 3 = -5. Solve for x by adding 3 to both sides: x = -5 + 3, which gives x = -2.
  • Step 5: The solutions to the equation |x - 3| = 5 are x = 8 and x = -2.
