3x^2  - 7 ∣x∣ + m - 5 = 0   At what value of m can the equation  have three roots

In R, the equation can have two  opposite solutions for x<0 (∣x∣ = −x)  and two opposite solutions for x>0  (∣x∣ = x).    To obtain exactly three roots, one root  needs to be 0 (to be equal to its  opposite).  That occurs when (c/a) = ((m−5)/3) = 0  ⇒ m = 5.  In this case 3x^2  = 7∣x∣  ⇒ x = 0, x = ±(7/3)

3x^2  - 7 ∣x∣ + m - 5 = 0   ⇒ { ((i:3x^2  - 7x =− m + 5)),((ii:3x^2  + 7x= − m + 5)) :}⇒3x^2 ^(×) −7x=3x^2 ^(×) +7x  ⇒x=0 (common root of i & ii)  ∵  i   &   ii    have one root  common  ∴ They have total three roots  ∴ The original equation has 3 roots  3x^2  - 7 ∣x∣ + m - 5 = 0   ⇒3(0)^2 −7∣0∣+m−5=0  ⇒m−5=0⇒m=5
