Question

Write a real world situation that could be modeled by |x-14|=3

Answer 1

lx-14|=3
x-14=3
x-14=-3
x=17
x=11
x¹=11 x²=17

Answer 2

Equations can be used to model real life situations

A real-world situation that can be modeled by |x - 14| = 3 is:

Francis is on the 14-meter mark in a race; John is 3-meter away from him. Determine John's current location.

The equation is given as:

$|x- 14| =3$

Remove absolute bracket

$x- 14 =3$ or $x- 14 =-3$

Make x the subject

$x =14 + 3$ or $x =14 - 3$

$x = 17$ or $x = 11$

Using the situation stated above.

It means that John is currently at the 11-meter mark or 17-meter mark
