∣x−18∣=5 absolute value

Mathematics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer

x = 13 or x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-18| = 5 means there are two possibilities.

x-18 can equal 5 or equal -5 because absolute value sign makes everything inside it positive.

so you can write two equations and solve

first is x-18 = 5

x-18 + 18 = 5 + 18

x = 23

the second is x - 18 = -5

x - 18 + 18 = -5 + 18

x = 13

The two solutions are 13 and 23.
