On a number line, two different points are both 5 units from the point with the coordinate -6. The solution to which of the following equation gives the coordinates of both points?
==========================================================
The choices are missing…
Any way, the equation is +abs%28x-%28-6%29%29+=+5+ which simplifies to
The solutions are x=-1 and x=-11.
