Question
Solve the equation
x=23
Alternative Form
x=1.5
Evaluate
∣x−1∣=∣x−2∣
Evaluate
x−1=x−2x−1=−(x−2)
Calculate
More Steps
Evaluate
x−1=x−2
Cancel equal terms on both sides of the expression
−1=−2
The statement is false for any value of x
x∈∅
x∈∅x−1=−(x−2)
Calculate
More Steps
Evaluate
x−1=−(x−2)
Calculate
x−1=−x+2
Move the expression to the left side
x−1+x=2
Move the expression to the right side
x+x=2+1
Add and subtract
More Steps
Evaluate
x+x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(1+1)x
Add the numbers
2x
2x=2+1
Add and subtract
2x=3
Divide both sides
22x=23
Divide the numbers
x=23
x∈∅x=23
