Question

Solve for x
2 ∣x − 4∣ + 8 = 18

  1. x = 9 and x = - 1    
  2. x = 1 and x = - 9    
  3. x = 4 and x = - 2    
  4. No Solution    

hintHint:

Absolute value is the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign. Also called modulus.

The correct answer is: x = 9 and x = - 1


    x = 9 and x =- 1
    Because, 2 ∣9 − 4∣ + 8 = 18
    2∣5∣ + 8 = 18
    10 + 8 = 18
    Or
    2 ∣- 1 − 4∣ + 8 = 18
    2∣ - 5∣ + 8 = 18
    10 + 8 = 18
