Question

Solve |x-3|=5, A 1 mark question from real numbers and operations on them' chapter.

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -2 or x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since |x-3| = 5

x-3 = ± 5

x - 3 =5 or x - 3 = -5

x= 8 or x = -2

Answer 2

Answer:

solution for the equation would be

8 & -2

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-3|=5

This means

x - 3 = ± 5

case 1

when x -3 = 5

Case 2

When x-3 = -5

Solving case 1

x -3 = 5

=> x = 5 +3

=> x = 8

so one value of x = 8

Solving case 2

x -3 = -5

=> x = -5 + 3

=> x = -2

Another value of x = -2

So solution for the equation would be

8 & -2
