Question

Solve for x: |x| − 8 = −5

x = −13 and x = −3

x = 3 and x = −3

x = 3 and x = 13

No solution

Answer 1

pleaassss help someone:(

Answer 2

x= 3

Answer 3

because since its minus 8 you do +8

Answer 4

and then you add 8 to the other side and it equals x=3

Answer 5

well adding 8 to both sides of the equation gives

|x| = 3

so there are 2 equation x = 3 and x = -3

Answer 6

ok but don't you just take the parenthesis away?

Answer 7

what you need to know is the absolute value of a negative number is positive

| -3| = 3

and | 3| = 3

that is why there are 2 solutions.

Answer 8

thank you guys a lot for this its reaallly big help cuz im far behind being far behind :((

Answer 9

Compare and Contrast: Two equations are listed below. Solve each equation and compare the solutions. Choose the statement that is true about both solutions.


Equation 1 Equation 2
|5x + 6| = 41 |2x + 13| = 28

Equation 1 has more solutions than equation 2.

Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of solutions.

Equation 2 has more solutions than Equation 1.

The number of solutions cannot be determined.
