Question

complete the following activity ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2  and -x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to complete the following activity

| (8 - x) / 2 | = 5

∴ (8 - x) / 2 = 5        or   (8 - x) / 2 = -5

∴ 8 - x = 10              or    8 - x = - 10

∴ - x = 10 - 8            or    - x = - 10 - 8

∴   x = -2                   ∴ - x = -18
