Question

The minimum and maximum temperature for a day in Cupcake Town can be modeled by the equation below:

3|x − 8| + 15 = 18

What are the minimum and maximum temperatures for this day?

x = 1, x = 17

x = −7, x = 9

x = 7 x = 9

No solution

Answer 2

First subtract 15 from both sides, you get 3/x-8/ = 3

Now divide both sides by 3, you get
/x-8/ = 1

Now set x - 8 = 1 and x - 8 = -1

So, x = 9 and x = 7

Seems like the minimum is 7 and maximum is 9.

Answer 4

Okay! What about this one ?
Solve for x: |x − 2| + 10 = 12

x = 0 and x = 4

x = −4 and x = 0

x = −20 and x = 4

No solution

Answer 5

XD i'm afraid i might get this one wrong again but it's worth a try

Answer 6

|x - 2| + 10 = 12


|x - 2| = 12-10


|x - 2| = 2


x - 2 = 2 or x - 2 = -2


x = 2+2 or x = -2+2


x = 4 or x = 0

Answer 7

so a

Answer 8

|x + 2| + 16 = 14


|x + 2| = 14-16


|x + 2| = -2


Since the absolute value of any number is nonnegative, this means that the last equation is not possible


So there are no solutions
