See the entire solution process below: Show First, divide each side of the equation by #color(red)(4)# to isolate the absolute value term while keeping the equation balanced: #(4abs(0.5x - 2.5))/color(red)(4) = 0/color(red)(4)# #(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))abs(0.5x - 2.5))/cancel(color(red)(4)) = 0# #abs(0.5x - 2.5) = 0# The absolute value function takes any negative or positive term and transforms it to its positive form. Therefore, we must solve the term within the absolute value function for both its negative and positive equivalent. However, because #0# has no positive or negative form we just need to solve: #0.5x - 2.5 = 0# Now, add #color(red)(2.5)# to each side of the equation to isolate the #x# term while keeping the equation balanced: #0.5x - 2.5 + color(red)(2.5) = 0 + color(red)(2.5)# #0.5x - 0 = 2.5# #0.5x = 2.5# Now, divide each side of the equation by #color(red)(0.5)# to solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced: #(0.5x)/color(red)(0.5) = 2.5/color(red)(0.5)# #(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(0.5)))x)/cancel(color(red)(0.5)) = 5# #x = 5# Algebra ExamplesPopular Problems Algebra Find All Complex Solutions 4|0.5x-2.5|=0 Step 1 Factor out of .

1+0 Answers#1 +1 Solve for x over the real numbers: 4 abs(0.5 x - 2.5) = 4 abs(x/2 - 5/2): Divide both sides by 4: Eliminate the absolute value: Divide both sides by 1: Bring x/2 - 5/2 together using the
common denominator 2: Multiply both sides by 2: Add 5 to both sides: Guest May 7, 2017 32 Online UsersTop Users+124584 CPhill moderator +117795 Melody moderator +33125 Alan moderator +13854 asinus moderator +9431 hectictar +3754 Probolobo +3122 admin administrator+3103 TitaniumRome +2445 BuilderBoi +2403 catmg +2394 GingerAleSticky TopicsSome guidelines for question askers.
