Answer:

(17, -1)

Explanation:

|x - 8| + 6 = 15

Subtract 6 from both sides.

|x - 8| + 6 - 6 = 15 - 6

Then you simplify

|x - 8| = 9

Apply the absolute rule: for example, | u | = a, a > 0 then u = a or u = -a

x - 8 = -9 or x - 8 = 9

Which would come out to x = 17, -1

I hope that helps you understand how to solve it :)
