Robert conducts an experiment to measure the temperature of a solution. Due to a defect in the apparatus, the temperature of the solution measured in each trial is 5°F more or less than the theoretical temperature of 11°F of the solution.
The following absolute value equation can be used to determine the temperature of the solution measured by Robert:
1 x - 111 = 5.
Here, x represents the measured temperature of the solution in degrees Fahrenheit.
Based on the above information, what is the temperature of the solution as measured by Robert?
B.
A. The temperature of the solution measured by Robert is -6°F or 6°F.
The temperature of the solution measured by Robert is -6°F or -16°F.
C. The temperature of the solution measured by Robert is 5°F or 6°F.
D. The temperature of the solution measured by Robert is 16°F or 6°F.
