Question

3|x − 8| + 15 = 18
a) x = 1, x = 17
b) x = −7, x = 9
c) x = 7 x = 9
d) no solution

Answer 1

since there's an absolute value notation you will have two equations which means there are two solution for x. \[3[-(x-8)]+15=18\] and \[3(x-8)+15=18\]

solve values for "x" in each equation.

Answer 2

is it a?

Answer 3

nope...

Answer 4

3|x − 8| + 15 = 18

Simplify your life!! Divide by 3.

|x − 8| + 5 = 6
