Answer:

<em>-26 or 14</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Coordinate of point A is -6.

Length of AB = 20

To find:

Coordinates for the point B = ?

Solution:

We are given that:

AB = 20

In other words, we can use modulus function to define the distance between A and B:

|Coordinates of B - Coordinates of A| = 20

Let the coordinates of B = x

Kindly refer to the attached image for the given situation.

Point B might be either on the left or on the right side of A.

That means:

|x-(-6)| = 20\\\Rightarrow |x+6|=20

Now, let us have a look at the modulus function:

|y|=\left \{ {-{y}\ if\ y0} \right.

So,

|x+6|=\left \{ {-{(x+6)}\ if\ (x+6)0} \right.

(x+6 ) =20\\\Rightarrow x =14

-(x+6 ) =20\\\Rightarrow x =-26

Therefore, the answer is:

<em>-26 or 14</em>
