(c) Here $x = 2$ and $3$ are the critical points. When $x < 2,|x - 2| = - (x - 2),|x - 3| = - (x - 3)$ $ herefore $ The given equation reduces to $2 - x + 3 - x = 7$ ==> $x = - 1 < 2$ $ herefore $ $x = - 1$ is a solution. When $2 \le x < 3,\,\,|x - 2| = x - 2,|x - 3| = - (x - 3)$ $ herefore $ The equation reduces to $x - 2 + 3 - x = 7$==> $1=7$ $ herefore $ No solution in this case. When $x \ge 3$, the equation reduces to $x - 2 + x - 3 = 7$ ==> $x = 6 > 3$ Hence we get, $x = 6$or $-1$ Trick : By inspection, we have that both the values $x = 6, - 1$ satisfy the given equation.

If $|x - 2| + |x - 3| = 7$, then $x =$
