Solution

Dear student
We know that:x-a>rx<a-r or x>a+rSo, x-5>2+px<5-2+p or x>5+2+px<5-2-p or x>7+px<3-p or x>7+pNow putting different values of p in above equation.p=-5x<3--5 or x>7+-5x<8 or x>2x2,8Now put p=5x<3-5 or x>7+5x<-2 or x>12This case is not possible.Now, put p=2x<3-2 or x>7+2x<1 or x>9This case is not possible.Now, put p=-2x<3--2 or x>7+-2x<5 or x>5This case is not possible.So, p=-5
