The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day in Lollypop Town can be modeled by the equation below:

2|x − 6| + 14 = 38

What are the minimum and maximum temperatures for this day?

x = −9, x = 21

x = −6, x = 18

x = 6, x = −18

No solution

$$2|x-6|+14=38\Rightarrow 2|x-6|=24\Rightarrow |x-6|=12\Rightarrow x-6 = 12 \text{ or }  x-6 = -12$$

anonymous · Answer

solve for x in each case.

I assume x is the max or min temp.
