Question

can someone plx give me the answer. 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 1

you can manipulate this equation the same way you can ANY equation, until you deal with the absolute value. Go ahead and do that.

Answer 2

"That" meaning, isolate the |x-8|

Answer 3

subtract 15 from both sides of the equation

3| x - 8| = 3

divide both sides by 3

and you are now solving 2 equations

x - 8 = 1 and x - 8 = -1

hope it helps

Answer 4

so would it be the second one

Answer 5

well one answer is the max temp and 1 is the min temp..

you need 2 answers

Answer 6

so no soultion

Answer 7

well you could try to solve the 2 equations

x - 8 = 1 and x - 8 = -1


simply add 8 to both sides of the equation...

Answer 8

I tyed and did not get it

Answer 9

ok... well if you follow the instruction of adding 8 to both sides of each equation you'll get the solution
