PLEASE HELP MEH WIT DA QUESTION:

The minimum and maximum temperature for a day in Cupcake Town can be modeled by the equation below:

3|x − 8| + 15 = 18

What are the minimum and maximum temperatures for this day? (2 points)

A. x = 1, x = 17
B. x = −7, x = 9
C. x = 7 x = 9
D. No solution

Answer 1

C. x = 7, x = 9

Explanation:

• 
  `3|x-8|+15=18\\`

• 
  `3|x-8|+15-15=18-15`

• 
  `3|x-8|=3`

• 
  `|x-8|=1`

• Therefore, when solving for x, x has to be 7 or 9.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer would be C.
