Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation |5x - 45| = 35 can be solved by considering both the positive and negative scenarios of the absolute value. For the positive scenario, 5x - 45 = 35, which simplifies to 5x = 80, giving x = 16. For the negative scenario, -(5x - 45) = 35, which simplifies to 5x - 45 = -35, leading to 5x = 10, giving x = 2. Therefore, the solutions are x = 2 and x = 16.
