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

pooja195 · Answer

Add -14 to both sides.
2(|x−6|)+14+−14=38+−14
2(|x−6|)=24
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
