The minimum and maximum temperature for a day in Cupcake Town can be modeled by the equation below:


3|x − 8| + 15 = 18


What are the minimum and maximum temperatures for this day?


x = 1, x = 17

x = −7, x = 9

x = 7 x = 9

No solution

Verified Answer :

First subtract 15 from both sides, you get 3/x-8/ = 3

 Now divide both sides by 3, you get
/x-8/ = 1

 Now set x - 8 = 1 and x - 8 = -1

So, x = 9 and x = 7

 Seems like the minimum is 7 and maximum is 9.

Answer:

x = 7 x = 9
