The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day can be modeled by the equation 2[x-6]+14=38 what are the min and max temperatures for this day?

assuming the brackets are absolute values, the max would be 18 and the min you be -6

there are always two solutions when it comes to absolute value if it begins with something higher than zero

x = 18

x = -6

Here are the steps to calculating the given equation:

Distribute 2 to x and 6: 2x-12+14=38
Group like terms: 2x+(-12+14)=38
Combine like terms: 2x+2=38
Subtract number on 'x' side: 2x+2-2=38-2
Simplify: 2x=36
Divide: 2x/2=36/2
Simplify: x=18
Label with correct terms: 
I cannot do this because you did not provide sufficient information, I would need to know what the difference between the two, or if 'x' stood for one particular temperature. Hope that helped enough with what you provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle measures 48� less than the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?  

angle: x

supplement: 180-x

Equation:

x = (180-x)-48

 

x = 132-x

2x = 132

x = 66 degrees

180-x = 114 degrees
