Lesson Steps

Step	Type	Explanation	Answer
1	Problem	Calculate the equation \$ \| x + 5 \| - 3 = 2 \$
2	Step	Adding + 3 on both sides we get	\$ \| x + 5 \| - \cancel3 + \cancel3 = 2 + 3 \$
3	Step	After cancellation we get	\$ \| x + 5 \| = 5 \$
4	Formula:	By using formula	\$\| x \| = a\$
5	Hint	By removing mod we get(+) or (-)	\$x = a (or) x = - a \$
6	Step	Here 'a' is '5'	\$ x + 5 = 5 (or) x + 5 = - 5 \$
7	Step	Adding - 5 on both sides we get	\$ x + \cancel5 - \cancel5 = 5 - 5 (or) x + \cancel5 - \cancel5 = - 5 - 5 \$
8	Step	After cancellation we get	\$ x = 0 (or) x = - 10 \$

Answer

Problem

Calculate the equation
\$ | x + 5 | - 3 = 2 \$

Step

Adding + 3 on both sides we get

\$ | x + 5 | - \cancel3 + \cancel3 = 2 + 3 \$

Step

After cancellation we get

\$ | x + 5 | = 5 \$

Formula:

By using formula

\$| x | = a\$

Hint

By removing mod we get(+) or (-)

\$x = a (or) x = - a \$

Step

Here 'a' is '5'

\$ x + 5 = 5 (or) x + 5 = - 5 \$

Step

Adding - 5 on both sides we get

\$ x + \cancel5 - \cancel5 = 5 - 5 (or) x + \cancel5 - \cancel5 = - 5 - 5 \$

Step

After cancellation we get

\$ x = 0 (or) x = - 10 \$
