Solve |2x - 5| = 4. x = 0.5 or x = 4.5 0.5 < x < 4.5 x Solve |2x - 5| = 4.

x = 4.5 x =.5

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 5| = 4

The absolute value has two solutions one positive and one negative

2x-5 = 4 2x-5 = - 4

Add 5 on each side

2x-5+5 = 4+5 2x-5+5 = - 4+5

2x = 9 2x = 1

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 9/2 2x/2 = 1/2

x = 4.5 x =.5
