How do you graph |x-8|=3 on a number line?

Question

How do you graph |x-8|=3 on a number line?

Answer 1

|x - 8| = 3

x - 8 = +/- 3

x = 3 + 8

x = 11

...AND...

x = -3 + 8

x = 5

Answer 2

x - 8 = 3

x = 11

x - 8 = - 3

x = 5

0__1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9__10__11__...

Answer 3

lx-8l = 3

it means,

x-8=3  or  -(x-8)=3

so ,

x= 11 or 5

so ......

Answer 4

the answer to the question is 11 and 5 so

       5................11

Answer 5

|x-8|=3 means (x - 8) = +3 or (x - 8) = -3

The graph of |x-8|=3 consists of points on the number line, 3 units left (negative) or right (positive) of point (8).

Answer 6

break the absolute value into 2 equations:

x-8=3 and x-8=-3

solve each equation and put the results on the number line
