x = \frac{24}{5} or x = \frac{26}{5}

Decimal Notation

x = 4.8, x = 5.2

Solution steps

∣ 5 - x ∣ = \frac{1}{5}

Apply absolute rule: If

∣ u ∣ = a, a > 0

then

u = a

u = - a

5 - x = - \frac{1}{5} or 5 - x = \frac{1}{5}

5 - x = - \frac{1}{5} or 5 - x = \frac{1}{5}

x = \frac{24}{5} or x = \frac{26}{5}
