x will equal more than one solution because it is an absolute value
Subtract 5 from both side, then divide by 2. Because its negative the sign flips making it greater than
integer solutions x=+27 x=+26 x=+25 x=+24 x=+23
-2 *
@abdela25 those are equal signs

So it would be |-2x| < 55 ?
x > -27.5 ?
Thats what I got. And to find the other solution make the 60 negative. |-2x + 5| < -60 -5 -5 -2x < -65
x < 32.5 ?
You divided by a negative, so?

So it's both x < 32.5 and x > -27.5 ?
