Question

How do you solve `2abs(3-x)+10=5`?

Answer 1

The answer is: `x in {}`

If there is only one absolute value operator, leave it alone at a side of the equation first. That makes easier to solve them.

`2abs(3-x)=-5`

`abs(3-x) = -5/2`

Now we can see that there is no such value of `x` to solve this equation since the absolute value operator returns only non-negative.

The result is: `x in {}`
