2 | x | − | 5 | ( | x | − | 3 | ) | = | 2 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 5 | x | + | 5 | × | 3 |
= | 2 | x | − | 5 | x | + | 15 |
= | - | 3 | x | + | 15 |
- | 3 | x | + | 15 | = | 2 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 10 |
= | 2 | x | − | 20 |
- | 3 | x | + | 15 | = | 2 | x | − | 20 |
- | 3 | x | − | 2 | x | = | - | 20 | − | 15 |
- | 5 | x | = | - | 20 | − | 15 |
- | 5 | x | = | - | 35 |
35 | = | 5 | x |
5 | x | = | 35 |
x | = | 35 | ÷ | 5 |
= | 35 | × | 1 5 |
= | 7 | × | 1 |
x | = | 7 |
