NEED THIS ASAP Solve each absolute value by expression

1) [x+8]=16


Sagot :

[tex]x + 8= 16[/tex]

[tex] \rightarrow \: x = 16 - 8[/tex]

[tex] \rightarrow \: x = 8[/tex]

Answer:

x = 8 or x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

An absolute value expression has two cases, a positive and a negative.

Therefore, we have to solve two equations here:

  • x + 8 = 16
  • x + 8 = -16

1)

  • x + 8 = 16
  • x = 8

2)

  • x + 8 = -16
  • x = -24

The two solutions are x = 8 and x = -24.
