Question

"Write an absolute value equation that has the given solution."

x=8 and x=18
I have no clue at all on what to do.Lol

Answer 1

average of 18 and 8

• 18+8/2
• 26/2
• 13/2

The function is

• |x-5|=13

As

13-5=8

13+5=18

Answer 2

• |x - 13| = 5

Explanation:

When you have the solutions to absolute value equation which are a and b, the equation will look like this:

• |x - (midpoint of a and b)| = 1/2(range of a and b)

If we apply this provided a = 8, b = 18 we get:

• Midpoint of 8 and 18 = 13
• Range of 8 and 18 = 10

The the equation is:

• |x - 13| = 10/2

or

• |x - 13| = 5
