Q. Solve for all values of c in simplest form.∣c−22∣=45Answer: c=
Absolute Value Definition: We are given the absolute value equation ∣c−22∣=45. The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from zero on the number line, which means it is always non-negative. Therefore, c−22 can be either 45 or −45, because the absolute value of both 45 and −45 is 45.
Positive Case Solution: First, let's consider the case when c−22 is positive or zero, which gives us c−22=45. To find the value of c, we add 22 to both sides of the equation.c−22+22=45+22c=67
Negative Case Solution: Now, let's consider the case when c−22 is negative, which gives us c−22=−45. Again, we add 22 to both sides of the equation to find the value of c. c−22+22=−45+22c=−23
