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?

A. x = −9, x = 21
B. x = −6, x = 18
C. x = 6, x = −18
D. No solution

Answer 1

Add -14 to both sides.
2(|x−6|)+14+−14=38+−14
2(|x−6|)=24
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
2(|x−6|)/2=24/2
|x−6|=12
Now set up two equations one postitve one negative (sol)

Answer 2

x−6=12
x−6=-12
now solve for x

Answer 3

so B is correct?

Answer 4

yep :)

Answer 5

thnx guys :)
