|2x+1|=5If a and b are the solutions to the equation above, what is the value of |a-b|?

Correct answer: C. 5

  • A. -5
  • B. 1
  • C. 5
  • D. -1

Explanation

Now, to find the value of |a-b|, we can use the absolute value of the difference between a and b. In this case, a=2 and b=-3, so |a-b| = |2-(-3)| = |2+3| = 5. Therefore, the value of |a-b| is 5, as mentioned.
