Question

Write the absolute value equations in the form x−b=c (where b is a number and c can be either number or an expression) that have the following solution sets:
Two solutions: x=−4, x=−8

Answer 1

Answer:

|x + 6| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - b| = c

b is the centre: (-4-8)/2 = -6

b = -6

c is the distance from the centre

-6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2

Or,

-4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2

| x - (-6)| = 2

|x + 6| = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$|x+6|=2$

Step-by-step explanation

$(-4)+(-8)=-12$

$-12/2=-6$

-6 to -8 is 2

So.................

The equation would be

$|x-(-6)|=2$

but if you simplify you get this

$|x+6|=2$
