Question

|x-1|=14 solve the equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 13 or -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x for 13

|13+-1|=14

13+1=14

14=14

Now try -13

|-13+-1|=14

13+1=14

14=14

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 15                   x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-1|=14

There are two solutions to the absolute value equation, one positive and one negative

x-1 = 14   and x-1 = -14

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 14+1     x-1+1 = -14+1

x = 15                   x = -13
