Question

Solve for x: |x| − 8 = −5 (2 points) x = 3 and x = −3 x = 3 and x = 13 No solution x = −13 and x = −3

Answer 1

X=3 and -3; if you plug in those choices you'll see that the answer is equal to -5.
Also: add 8 to both sides. |X| = 3, so what two values of x will equal 3 when you take their absolute value? 3 and -3
