Question

He 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?

Answer 1

First, put the modulus equation on one side with everything else on the other side.

3|x-8|=18-15
|x-8| = 3/3
|x-8| = 1
x-8 = +- 1

x-8 =1
x= 9

AND

x-8=-1
x=7

The minimum temperature would be 7° and maximum would be 9°.

Hope I helped :)
