Find the solution set to the equation.

|dw:1410993689334:dw|

OpenStudy (ohmaigosshh):

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.

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

OpenStudy (ohmaigosshh):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (ohmaigosshh):

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 .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that's what a piecewise function is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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