Answer: Choice A
x = 14 and x = -2
===========================================
Work Shown:
[tex]|x-6| = 8\\\\x-6 = 8 \ \text{ or } \ x-6 = -8\\\\x = 8+6 \ \text{ or } \ x = -8+6\\\\x = 14 \ \text{ or } \ x = -2\\\\[/tex]
-------------
Checking the answer x = 14
[tex]|x-6| = 8\\\\|14-6| = 8\\\\|8| = 8\\\\8 = 8\\\\[/tex]
That solution is confirmed.
Repeat for x = -2
[tex]|x-6| = 8\\\\|-2-6| = 8\\\\|-8| = 8\\\\8 = 8\\\\[/tex]
The second solution is confirmed.
