Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
|5 - x| = 13 or |5 - x| = -13
5 - x = 13 or 5 - x = -13
Subtract 5 from both sides;
-x = 8 or -x = -18
Divide both sides by -1
x = -8 or x = 18
Answer: A) X = -8 or X = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we're dealing with absolute value, there are going to be two different solutions to this equation.
5 - x = 13
-x = 8
x = -8
OR
5 -x = -13 ( the negative is from the absolute value)
-x = - 18
x= 18
