Question

Write an absolute value equation, to satisfy the given solution set:

Answer 1

|x-8|=3

Explanation:

You have to find the average between 5 and 11

So we would have to do (11+5)/2=8

Than we have to make an equation.

|x-8|=3

The reason why its 3 is because there is no such thing as a negative distance The distance is always positive.

Answer 2

Explanation:

First find the midpoint

11+5/2

162

8

Then the distance between them

6

Now divide 6/2 and you get 3

The answer is

absolute value of x-8=c

Could not find absolute value symbol. Clarification; x and 8 are in absolute value format.
