Question

The equation |x − 8| = 3 represents the minimum and maximum percent of people in a survey who are undecided about an issue. What percent of the people in the survey are undecided about an issue?

Answer 1

| x - 8| = 3

x - 8 = 3            - (x - 8) = 3
x = 3 + 8           -x + 8 = 3
x = 11                -x = 3 - 8
                         -x = - 5
                           x = 5

Minimum : 5%    Maximum : 11%    if u need them added it is 16%

Answer 2

The equation represents the minimum x = 5 or 0.05% and maximum percent x = 11 or 0.11% of people in a survey who are undecided about an issue.

Given that,

Equation |x − 8| = 3 ,

The minimum and maximum percent of people in a survey who are undecided about an issue.

We have to find,

What percent of the people in the survey are undecided about an issue.

According to the question,

Equation,  |x − 8| = 3

The equation with mod solving two time with positive and negative sign.

On solving the equation,

$x - 8 = 3$

Adding 8 both the sides,

$x - 8 + 8 = 3 +8\\x = 11$

And Again solving with (-) sign,

$- (x-8) = 3\\-x + 8 = 3$

Subtract 8 from both sides,

$-x + 8 - 8 = 3-8\\- x = -5$

Divided by (-) both the sides,

x = 5

The minimum 0.05%.

Hence, The equation represents the minimum x = 5 or 0.05% and maximum percent x = 11 or 0.11% of people in a survey who are undecided about an issue.
