He minimum and maximum temperature for a day in cupcake town can be modeled by the equation below: 3|x − 8| + 15 = 18 what are the minimum and maximum temperatures for this day?

First, put the modulus equation on one side with everything else on the other side.

3|x-8|=18-15
|x-8| = 3/3
|x-8| = 1
x-8 = +- 1

x-8 =1
x= 9

AND

x-8=-1
x=7

The minimum temperature would be 7° and maximum would be 9°.

Hope I helped :)

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
