\

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 negative 1 and flip the symbol) $\"\"$

\

Solve the equation for Case-1.

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply subtraction proparty of inequality: Subtract 5 from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply commutative proparty of addition: a + b = b + a.
