\

The equation is $\"\"$

\

Write two cases:

\

Case-1: The expression inside the absolute value symbols is positive ( $\"\"$ ).

\

$\"\"$

\

Case-2: The expression inside the absolute value symbols is negative ( $\"\"$ ).

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by -negative1 and reverse the symbol)

\

$\"\"$

\

Solve the equation for Case-1.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 5 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply Commutative proparty: a + b = b + a)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply Additive inverse proparty: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by - 1 and reverse the symbol)

\

The solution set is $\"\"$ $\"\"$
