Question

On a number line, a certain integer is 24 units away from the double of its opposite. What is the integer?

Answer 1

Answer:

|8|

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integer = x

x = - 2x - 24

x + 2x = - 24

3x = - 24

x = - 24/3

x = - 8

Hence, the integer is - 8

The number could be the positive of negative of 8

Hence, it is better expressed as |8|
