positive s 05 x plus ten and could be equal
to either negative thirty five or positive thirty five Well
to solve the given equation sulfur acts in both of
these cases Well starting with the negative case all the
five x plus tens negative thirty five by striking ten
from both sides eh So let's do this thing and
we get five axis negative forty five Then just divide
both sides by five So x is negative Nine Then
we have to solve for the case when five x
plus ten is positive Thirty five by subtracting ten from
both sides and we get five X is twenty five
and just divide both sides by five and we get
x equals five So the solution here the set is
negative Nine and five That's it Nailed it You're free
