Question

∣/8∣=3Group of answer choicesx = 2 and x = 4x = 16 and x = 4x = -24 and x = 24x = -6 and x = -8

Answer 1

Given:

`|(x)/(8)|=3`

Applying absolute value property

`(x)/(8)=-3\text{ and }(x)/(8)=3`

Multiply both-side by 8.

That is;

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(8)*8=-3*8 \\ \\ \text{and } \\ \\ (x)/(8)*8=3*8 \end{gathered}`

`x=-24\text{ and x=24}`

Hence, x=-24 and x=24
