Step 1
Given:
|1x2|+5=8
Step 2
Add -5 to both sides.
|1x2|+55=85
|1x2|=3
Solve Absolute Value.
We know either 1x2=3 or 1x2=3
Solve the equation 1x2=3
Subtract 1 from both sides
1x21=31
x2=2
Step 3
Multiply both sides by 2/(-1)
x2×21=2×21
x=-4
Solve the equation 1x2=3
Subtract 1 from both sides
1x21=31
x2=4
Multiply both sides by 2/(-1)
x2×21=4×21
x=8
Hence the value of x are -4 and 8.
