Rewrite the expression without using the absolute value symbol. abs(3x-5) if x>= 5/3

Step 1
The expression inside the absolute value is (3x-5).
The absolute value of a number, a, is equal to the distance that a is from zero.
${\displaystyle \left|a\right|=a,\text{if}a\ge 0}$
=-(a), if a < 0
In the original definition for absolute value, replace each occurrence of a with (3x-5).
${\displaystyle \left|3x-5\right|=3x-5}$, if ${\displaystyle 3x-5\ge 0}$
=-(3x-5), if 3x-5<0
Step 2
if ${\displaystyle x\ge \frac{5}{3}}$, then ${\displaystyle \left|3x-5\right|=3x-5}$.
