If the required interval on x is used, then will be non-negative, and may be either negative or 0. All values of the required interval will make to be positive.

The equation in the expected, given interval becomes


OR


Simplifying those .

Only ONE value of x will use the second equation, x at 5.
The rest of the x values will use the first equation, y=3x-6.

How do you solve y=|x-3|+|x+2|-|x-5|, if 3 is less than x which is less than 5?
3 < x < 5

If x takes on an INTEGER value, then x MUST BE 4.

Hence, y = 6
