( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | + | 1 | = | 2 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 5 |
Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 | × | 1 3 | + | 1 |
= | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 3 | + | 1 |
= | 1 3 | x | + | 2 3 |
1 3 | x | + | 2 3 | = | 2 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 5 |
Right side of the equation = | 2 | − | x | × | 1 5 | + | 1 | × | 1 5 |
= | 2 | − | x | × | 1 5 | + | 1 5 |
= | 11 5 | − | 1 5 | x |
1 3 | x | + | 2 3 | = | 11 5 | − | 1 5 | x |
1 3 | x | + | 1 5 | x | = | 11 5 | − | 2 3 |
8 15 | x | = | 11 5 | − | 2 3 |
8 15 | x | = | 23 15 |
x | = | 23 15 | ÷ | 8 15 |
= | 23 15 | × | 15 8 |
= | 23 | × | 1 8 |
x | = | 23 8 |
x | = | 2.875 |
