Question

Determine the solutions of the equation |x – 3| = 11. 1. Rewrite for two solutions: (x – 3) = 11, –(x – 3) = 11 Solve for x in each equation. What are the solutions to the equation? x = –14, –8 x = –14, 8 x = –8, 14 x = 8, 14

Answer 1

x = 14, –8

Explanation:

|x – 3| = 11

(x - 3) = 11 - (x - 3) = 11

x - 3 = 11 - x + 3 = 11

x = 11 + 3 -x = 11 - 3

x = 14 -x = 8

x = -8
