Solution steps

∣ 2 x + 5 ∣ = ∣ x - 4 ∣

Find positive and negative intervals

x < - \frac{5}{2}, - \frac{5}{2} \leq x < 4, x \geq 4

Solve the inequality for each interval

x = - 9 or x = - \frac{1}{3} or No Solution

x = - 9 or x = - \frac{1}{3}

∣ x + 3 ∣ = 2 x - 6

∣ 3 - x ∣ + 5 x = 2 x - ∣ 1 - 3 x ∣

∣ 2 x + 1 ∣ = 7^{3} - 92

x^{2} - 1 = x - 1

∣ x - 5 ∣ = - 5
