Well, anything in absolute value lines become positive, so the equation would be:

3/4+5+x=13/4

Next we subtract 3/4 to both sides to start separating the variable (x).

So, 5+x=10/4


Next, we subtract 5 from both sides. (5= 20/4)

And we get: x=-10/4.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Step 1: Isolate the absolute value by subtracting 3/4 from both sides of the equation.              

     

Step 2: Represent the negative case by rewriting the absolute value equation as: 5 - x = - 5/2              

 

Step 3: Represent the positive case by rewriting the absolute value equation as 5 - x = 5/2 * v                      

Step 4: Isolate the variable term by subtracting this value from both sides of the negative case equation : 5

Step 5: Solve the positive case equation. x = 5/2
