|10x+65|=7x+25
solve for 2 possibilities
..
10x+65=7x+25
3x=-40
x=-40/3
check:
(10x+65)=7x+25
|10*-40/3+65|=7*-40/3+25
|10*-40/3+65|=7*-40/3+25
|-68.33|=-68.33
68.33≠-68.33
does not check, no solution
..
-(10x+65)=7x+25
-10x-65=7x+25
-17x=90
x=-90/17
check:
|10x+65|=7x+25
|10*-90/17+65|=7*-90/17+25
|12.06|=-12.06
12.06≠-12.06
does not check, no solution
