Answer :
Answer:
- |x - 13| = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have the solutions to absolute value equation which are a and b, the equation will look like this:
- |x - (midpoint of a and b)| = 1/2(range of a and b)
If we apply this provided a = 8, b = 18 we get:
- Midpoint of 8 and 18 = 13
- Range of 8 and 18 = 10
The the equation is:
- |x - 13| = 10/2
or
- |x - 13| = 5
average of 18 and 8
- 18+8/2
- 26/2
- 13/2
The function is
- |x-5|=13
As
13-5=8
13+5=18
