What is the answer for |x-6|+8=17

x=15, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-6|+8=17

Subtract 8 from each side

|x-6|+8-8=17-8

|x-6|=9

Set the absolute value equal to postive 9 and negative 9

x-6 = 9     x-6 = -9

Add 6 to all sides

x-6+6 = 9+6           x-6+6 = -9+6

x=15                     x= -3

x = 15, -3

Step-by-step explanation: Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
