Question

Which number line represents the solutions to |x – 2| = 6? A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points, one at negative 8 and one at 4. A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points, one at 4 and one at 8. A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points, one at negative 2 and one at 6. A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points, one at negative 4 and one at 8.

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

just got it right :)

Answer 2

x = 8 or x = -4, i.e., the last number line

Explanation:

|x – 2| = 6 translates to

x-2 = 6 or x-2 = -6 if you eliminate the absolute operation. So there are two solutions that you can solve independently:

x-2 = 6 => x = 8

x-2 = -6 => x = -4
