Question

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

I got B, is that right ?

Answer 1

2|x − 6| + 14 = 38
2|x − 6| = 24
|x − 6| = 12

x-6 = 12 OR x-6 = -12
x = 18 or x = -6

Yes, I get B too

Answer 2

Thank you!
