if the things are between the line they are positive I do believe so make em positive then subtract 5 on each side and solve for x

@shadowrainfaint  then its the third answer?

anonymous · Answer

{x | x = 0.5 or x = 4.5}

anonymous · Answer

Third answer shouldn't be an option because it is saying it is less than x or greater than x
those aren't even in the problem but i could be wrong
