Question

Which number line represents the solutions to IX – 2|= 6?

Answer 1

4th option.

Explanation:

| x - 2 | = 6

Solve absolute value.

We know either x - 2 = -6 or x - 2 = 6.

x - 2 = -6

x = -6 + 2

x = -4

x - 2 = 6

x = 6 + 2

x = 8

x = 8 or x = -4

Answer 2

The bottom one

-4-2=-6, the positive of which is 6

8-2=6, positive of which is 6
