Johan found that the equation –2|8 – x| – 6 = –12 had two possible solutions: x = 5 and x = –11. which explains whether his solutions are correct? he is correct because both solutions satisfy the equation. he is not correct because he made a sign error. he is not correct because there are no solutions. he is not correct because there is only one solution: x = 5.

He is not correct because he made a sign error.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 |8-x| - 6 = -12

-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6

-2 |8-x| = - 6

2 |8-x| = 6

|8-x| = 3

2 possible solutions:

8-x = 3 > x = 5

or

8-x = -3  > x = 11

Comparing the answer choices, we can see that Johan got the sign of x = 11 wrong.

Hence the correct answer is:

He is not correct because he made a sign error.
