Question

How do I do |x-10|=-8 ?

Answer 1

This is my favourite kind of absolute value question :D

Answer 2

It confuses me because the answer key tells me the answer is 0 with a line through it :s

Answer 3

Something like this
\[\huge \emptyset\]no doubt

Answer 4

Yeah, How is it that when I got x =2 and x=18?

Answer 5

Are you sure? Try replacing x with 2...
What do you get?

Answer 6

Oh. I see now.

Answer 7

An absolute value equal to a negative? Move heaven and earth... it's NEVER gonna happen :)

Answer 8

That "zero with a line through it" is not a number, it's a set... specifically the empty set.
It means there is no solution.

Answer 9

I see, thanks for the help.

Answer 10

No problem :)
