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

Answer:

             x = 14,  x = – 8        

Step-by-step 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

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is C.  x = –8, 14
