solve the absolute value equation or indicate that the equation has no solution [x-2]=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= 8 or -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can it be like[4,8] or [-4,8] or [-8]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not exactly sure what your asking but if that question was on a math test I would think that writing x= 8,-4 or x= 8 or -4 should be sufficient answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaa its on a math test

OpenStudy (chriss):

If you are trying to answer it using interval notation, the correct way to write that would be [-4] U [8]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright well I wouldn't write it as [4,8] and for interval notation I do not thing that is what is asking for since it isn't an inequality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually no.my question is this solve the absolute value equation or indicate that the equation has no solution [x-2]=6 a=[4,8] b=(-4,8) c=(-8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In that case I would say A because when it has parenthesis it usually indicates an ordered pair which these would not be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for why C is incorrect l-8-2l does not equal 6 it is 10

OpenStudy (chriss):

b is probably the answer though the notation would be incorrect. In interval notation, the first answer would mean 4 through 8 including 4 and 8, the second would mean everything between -4 through 8 but not including -4 and 8, and the last I guess would just mean -8, but in this case, I think b is intended to mean the answer set is -4 and 8, though they really should have used brackets instead of parentheses.
