SUMMARY
The absolute value equation ##\left | r-5 \right | = \left | r+2 \right |## can be solved analytically by considering two cases: when both expressions are of the same sign (either both positive or both negative) and when they are of opposite signs. The final solution is the union of the solution sets derived from these two cases. This method provides a systematic approach to solving similar absolute value equations.
