Answer 1

the answer is C

Answer 2

thanks :)

Answer 3

surely -8 is not a solution?

Answer 4

since its in the absolute value bar it is always positive so the answer is -8 and 8

Answer 5

thanks @selenatorsmiler4life

Answer 6

and what do u mean @cwrw238

Answer 7

well i thought that x = -8 would make the absolute value 40 since 32 - (-8) = 40
but selenator says that -8 becomes +8 because of the absolute signs ( the 2 bars on either side)

Answer 8

how many choices can you put

Answer 9

to be honest i'm not sure - maybe i'm wrong

Answer 10

the answer is (8,-8, and 76) if u can choose two answers

Answer 11

yes of course x = 76 gives -34 which becomes 34 due to absolute signs

Answer 12

maybe D is the answer?

Answer 13

yah i think your right @cwrw238
