Question

The minimum and max temp. On a cold day in lollipop town can be modeled by the equation below:
2|x-6|+14=38
What is the minimum and max temperatures for this day?

Answer 1

x = 18

Answer 2

and x = -20

Answer 3

2|x − 6| + 14 = 38

Subtract 14 from both sides,
2|x - 6| + 14 - 14 = 38 - 14
2|x - 6| = 24
Divide both sides by 2,
[ 2|x - 6| ] / 2 = 24 / 2
|x - 6| = 12
-12 = x - 6 = 12
-12 = x - 6
-12 + 6 = x
-6 = x
x - 6 = 12
x = 12 + 6
x = 18
x = -6, 18
The minimum T = -6
The maximum T = 18
[ x = −6, x = 18 ]
