Question
Solve : $|7-2 x|=5$
✓
Answer
$|7-2 x|=5$
$ \therefore 7-2 x=5 \text { or } 7-2 x=-5$
$\therefore 7-5=2 x \text { or } 7+5=2 x$
$\therefore 2 x=2 \text { or } 2 x=12$
$\therefore x=\frac{2}{2} \text { or } x=\frac{12}{2}$
$\therefore x=1 \text { or } x=6 $
$ \therefore 7-2 x=5 \text { or } 7-2 x=-5$
$\therefore 7-5=2 x \text { or } 7+5=2 x$
$\therefore 2 x=2 \text { or } 2 x=12$
$\therefore x=\frac{2}{2} \text { or } x=\frac{12}{2}$
$\therefore x=1 \text { or } x=6 $
