Solution:
Any three numbers in [5,10].
x+3−4x−1+x+8−6x−1=1
can be written
(x−1)−4x−1+4+(x−1)−6x−1+9=(x−1−2)2+(x−1−3)2=1
hence ∣x−1−2∣+∣x−1−3∣=1.
There are four cases.
(I) x−1−2≥0 and x−1−3≥0 which implies x≥10⇒x=10.
(II) x−1−2≤0 and x−1−3≤0 which implies x≤5⇒x=5.
(III) x−1−2≥0 and x−1−3≤0 implies 5≤x≤10.
(IV) x−1−2≤0 and x−1−3≥0, which is impossible.
Thus, any x∈[5,10] solves the equation.
