Question

Is it possible to have an absolute value equation where x=10 and x=18?

Answer 1

| x-14 | = 4 or | x-14 | -4 = 0

Explanation:

(10+18)/2 = 14

14-10 = 4

| x-14 | = 4 or | x-14 | -4 = 0

check: | x-14 | = + (x-14) when x≥14

x-14 = 4 x = 18

check: | x-14 | = - (x-14) when x<14

-( x-14) = 4 x = 10
