The absolute value |x| returns the "positive version" of a number. In other words, if x is already positive, then |x|=x. Otherwise, if x is negative, then the absolute value changes its sign, so that it returns positive: |x|=-x.

So, in this case, we have to plug the required values for x in the expression 2x-8. Then, if the result is positive we're ok, otherwise we discard the negative sign.

We have:

x=-2.5 \implies |2x-8| = |-5-8|=|-13|=13

x=0 \implies |2x-8| = |0-8|=|-8|=8

x=4 \implies |2x-8| = |8-8|=|0|=0

x=5 \implies |2x-8| = |10-8|=|2|=2

x=9.5 \implies |2x-8| = |19-8|=|11|=11

What is the value of x?<br> 4x − 6 = 18
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
You need to get rid of -6 by adding 6, you also need to add 6 to 18.

4x = 24

Now you need to get rid of the 4 attached to the variable, you do this by dividing 4 since it is multiplying, also dividing 4 and 24

x = 6

So the value of x is 6

Hope this helps! :)
