|x|=5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.
1.
$$x \geq 0$$
or
$$0 \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$x - 5 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$x - 5 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = 5$$
2.
$$x < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < 0$$
we get the equation
$$- x - 5 = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- x - 5 = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = -5$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = 5$$
$$x_{2} = -5$$
$$x_{1} = -5$$
$$x_{2} = 5$$
