I believe it is D

OpenStudy (kva1992):

let me explain why before confirming that maybe i might be mistaken i am human after. when you have an absolute value like that what happens is this you end up getting two equations 42-x=34 and 42-x=-34

OpenStudy (kva1992):

from there you should be able to solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kva1992):
