Answer 5

well you were wrong

Answer 6

|10x – 14| - 5 = 156
add 5 to both sides:
|10x – 14| = 161

If |a| = b then it implies: a = b or a = -b
Therefore, |10x – 14| = 161 implies: 10x - 14 = 161 or 10x - 14 = -161
10x - 14 = 161
10x = 161+14 = 175
x = 17.5

or 10x - 14 = -161
10x = -161 + 14 = -147
x = -14.7

x = -14.7 or 17.5
