Question 2. An absolute value equation can be rewritten as two equations that do not have absolute value symbols. Rewrite |x-31 = 7 as two equations.

Answer 1

The given equation is

`|x-3|=7`

An absolute value equation can be rewritten as two equations because the binomial inside the bars can be positive or negative. Therefore, the two equations are

`\begin{gathered} x-3=7 \\ x-3=-7 \end{gathered}`
