What is the solution set of |x – 6| = 8? 14 14 or –14 14 or –2 14 or 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 or –2

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Here you have an absolute value equation. When you have an absolute value equation of the form \( |X| = b \) where X is an expression in x, and b is a number, solve this compound equation: X = b or X = -b

In this case, it turns into x - 6 = 8 or x - 6 = -8 x = 14 or x = -2
