The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day in lollypop town can be modeled by the equation below: 2|x − 6| + 14 = 38what are the minimum and maximum temperatures for this day?

a: x= -9,x=21
b: x= -6,x=18
c: x=6,x= -18
d: no solution

The correct answer is B.

2|x-6|+14=38

\rightarrow2|x-6|=24

\rightarrow|x-6|=12

There are two cases:

1. x-6=12\rightarrow x=18

2. x-6=-12\rightarrow x=-6

So the minimum temperature is -6, and the maximum is 18.

Hope this helped! :)

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm
