Question

Find the solution set to the equation.

Answer 1

I thought the answer was "7". I got it wrong, the correct answer is (3,7). I want to know how to work the problem out to get that answer.

Answer 2

Do you know how to make a piecewise function from an absolute value?

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

Alright. First off, what are the values of x for which 5-x is less than zero?

Answer 5

I don't get what your asking me. I just worked the problem out though. They told me to set it up in 2 equations .

Answer 6

Yeah, that's what a piecewise function is.

Answer 7

If you've figured it out it doesn't matter though.
