Solution:

  1. Given equation 5+|2x1|=2x(2x2)

Case I

If 2x10x0,

then 5+2x1=2x(2x2)

Put 2x=t, then

5+t1=t22tt23t4=0t24t+t4=0t(t4)+1(t4)=0t=4 or 1t=4(t=2x>0)2x=4x=2>0x=2 is the solution. 

Case II

If 2x1<0x<0,

then 5+12x=2x(2x2)

Put 2x=y, then 6y=y22y

y2y6=0y23y+2y6=0

(y+2)(y3)=0y=3 or -2

y=3( as y=2x>0)2x=3

x=log23>0

So, x=log23 is not a solution.

Therefore, number of real roots is one.
