Question

absolute value bars around first to numbers 2x+3 = 5

Answer 1

so because the numbrs are all positive you can ignore the absolute number bars
2x+3=5
subtract 3 from both sides
2x=2
divide by 2 on both sides
x=1

Answer 2

im sorry its 2x -3

Answer 3

ok so in this case the absolute value bars do count
x=4,-1
