If you get your answers from other people, than in the future when you are put on the spot, you wont have anyone their to help you, so do it yourself.

Answer 4

Hi,

Set expression in left absolute value equal to the expression in the right absolute value.

| 5 - x | = | -x + 3 |

5 - x = -x + 3

5 = 3

Since this is never true, this equation gives no solution.

Set expression in left absolute value equal to the opposite of the expression in the right absolute value.

| 5 - x | = | -x + 3 |

5 - x =  x - 3

2x = 8

x = 4

4 is the only answer. <==ANSWER

I hope that helps!! :-)
