GRE Question of the Day

Answer

Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation results in

\(8\left| x+6\right| =56.\)

Then, dividing both sides by 8 obtains

\(\left| x+6\right| =7\)

After using the property of absolute value, there are two equations to solve: \(x+6=7\) and \(x+6=-7\). Therefore, \(x=1\) and \(-13.\)

Review the question
＋

If \(5 + 8|x + 6| = 61\), then which of the following could \(x\) be equal to? Select all that apply.
