Question 11017: Can you please answer this problem. 5|6-5x|=5x-35
I guess this question centres on inequality, but since equality is used my
attempt is hereby made below;
5 is a common factor. therefore dividing by 5 the expression becomes
(6-5x) = x-7

let us assume 6-5x= -(x-7)
then 6-5x= 7-x
But if -1= 4x
then -1.25= x impossible!
THE QUESTION HAS STRUCTURAL ERROR!
