Question 2 • High School Math 2 A

What is the solution to 4|0.5x – 2.5| = 0?

Answer
A
x = 1.25
B
x = 5
C
x = –1.25 or x = 1.25
D
x = –5 or x = 5

Explanation

Since 4 is nonzero, the equation can equal 0 only when the absolute value is 0. Set the expression inside it equal to 0: 0.5x − 2.5 = 0, so 0.5x = 2.5 and x = 5. The correct choice is B, x = 5.
