\

The original function is $\"\"$

\

Write $\"\"$ as $\"\"$ or $\"\"$

\

\

$\"\"$

\

First solve the case $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 5 form each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inerse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Next solve the case $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 5 form each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inerse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

First, draw a number line.
