Solution for abs(2x-5)=abs(4-x) equation:


Simplifying
abs(2x + -5) = abs(4 + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
abs(-5 + 2x) = abs(4 + -1x)
(-5 * abs + 2x * abs) = abs(4 + -1x)
(-5abs + 2absx) = abs(4 + -1x)
-5abs + 2absx = (4 * abs + -1x * abs)
-5abs + 2absx = (4abs + -1absx)

Solving
-5abs + 2absx = 4abs + -1absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4abs' to each side of the equation.
-5abs + -4abs + 2absx = 4abs + -4abs + -1absx

Combine like terms: -5abs + -4abs = -9abs
-9abs + 2absx = 4abs + -4abs + -1absx

Combine like terms: 4abs + -4abs = 0
-9abs + 2absx = 0 + -1absx
-9abs + 2absx = -1absx

Add 'absx' to each side of the equation.
-9abs + 2absx + absx = -1absx + absx

Combine like terms: 2absx + absx = 3absx
-9abs + 3absx = -1absx + absx

Combine like terms: -1absx + absx = 0
-9abs + 3absx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '3abs'.
3abs(-3 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor 3.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'abs' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying abs = 0 Solving abs = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying abs = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(-3 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -3 + x = 0 Solving -3 + x = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '3' to each side of the equation. -3 + 3 + x = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0 0 + x = 0 + 3 x = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3 x = 3 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = 3 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = 3 + -1x Simplifying 0 = 3 + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
