Given, 2∣x∣2+51=∣1+20x∣ Then, following two possible cases arises : Case I When 1+20x>0⇒x>20−1 ∴ 2x2+51=(1+20x) ⇒2x2−20x+50=0 ⇒x2−10x+25=0[∵2=0] ⇒(x−5)2=0 ⇒x=5,5Case II When 1+20x⇒x<20−1 ∴ 2x2+51=−(1+20x) ⇒2x2−20x+52=0 ⇒x2−10x+26=0 Here, D<0 Thus, roots are imaginary. Hence, sum of real roots =5+5=10
