Solution for abs(x+5)=abs(x-2) equation:


Simplifying
abs(x + 5) = abs(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
abs(5 + x) = abs(x + -2)
(5 * abs + x * abs) = abs(x + -2)
(5abs + absx) = abs(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
5abs + absx = abs(-2 + x)
5abs + absx = (-2 * abs + x * abs)
5abs + absx = (-2abs + absx)

Add '-1absx' to each side of the equation.
5abs + absx + -1absx = -2abs + absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: absx + -1absx = 0
5abs + 0 = -2abs + absx + -1absx
5abs = -2abs + absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: absx + -1absx = 0
5abs = -2abs + 0
5abs = -2abs

Solving
5abs = -2abs

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2abs' to each side of the equation.
5abs + 2abs = -2abs + 2abs

Combine like terms: 5abs + 2abs = 7abs
7abs = -2abs + 2abs

Combine like terms: -2abs + 2abs = 0
7abs = 0

Divide each side by '7'.
abs = 0
