Answer :
Step-by-step explanation:
15 = |x| - 5
|x| - 5 = 15
|x| = 15 + 5
|x| = 20
x = ±20
x = -20 or 20
Option → B
[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\large\boxed{\mathsf{15 = |x| - 5}}\\\large\boxed{\mathsf{|x| - 5 = 15}}\\\large\boxed{\textbf{ADD 5 to BOTH SIDES}}\\\large\boxed{\mathsf{\rightarrow |x| - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5}}\\\large\boxed{\textbf{CANCEL out: -5 + 5 because it gives you 0}}\\\large\boxed{\textbf{KEEP: 15 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value}}\\\large\boxed{\textbf{NEW EQUATION: }\mathbf{|x| = 15 + 5}}\\\large\boxed{\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}}\\\large\textbf{Possibility \#1: x = 20}\\\large\textbf{or even Possibility \#2: x = -20}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer is: }\\\boxed{\mathsf{x = 20\ or\ x = -20}}\\\huge\boxed{\textbf{(Option B.)}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
