The above equation can be written as: 2 5 + 3 ( 5 ∗ 3 ) ∣ x ∣ = 5 ∣ x ∣ + 2 5 ( 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 )
⇒ 2 5 + 5 ∣ x ∣ ( 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 ) = 5 ∣ x ∣ + 2 5 ( 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 )
⇒ 5 ∣ x ∣ ( 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 − 1 ) = 2 5 ( 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 − 1 )
⇒ ( 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 − 1 ) ( 5 ∣ x ∣ − 2 5 ) = 0
Hence, either 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 − 1 = 0 or 5 ∣ x ∣ − 2 5 = 0
⇒ 3 ∣ x ∣ + 1 = 1 or 5 ∣ x ∣ = 2 5
⇒ ∣ x ∣ + 1 = 0 or ∣ x ∣ = 2
⇒ ∣ x ∣ = − 1 (This is not possible) or x = ± 2
Hence, x = ± 2 are the only possible values that x can take.
Therefore, product of all values of x satisfying the given equation is: 2 ∗ ( − 2 ) = − 4
