Question 50: Find x know: |x – 5| = 3

|x – 5| = 3 so x – 5 = ± 3

I guess

\(\begin{array}{l} x{\rm{ }}-{\rm{ }}5{\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}3{\rm{ }} \Leftrightarrow {\rm { }}x{\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}8{\rm{ }}\\ {\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }}-{\rm{ }}5{\rm { }} = {\rm{ }} – 3{\rm{ }} \Leftrightarrow {\rm{ }}x{\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}2 \end{array}\)

So the value of x is : 8 and 2
