Q. Solve for all values of c in simplest form.∣c+25∣=35Answer: c=
Absolute Value Equation: We have the absolute value equation ∣c+25∣=35. 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+25 can be either 35 or −35.
Case when c+25 is Positive: First, let's consider the case when c+25 is positive or zero. We set c+25 equal to 35 and solve for c. c+25=35 Subtract 25 from both sides to isolate c. c=35−25 c=10
Case when c+25 is Negative: Now, let's consider the case when c+25 is negative. We set c+25 equal to −35 and solve for c.c+25=−35Subtract 25 from both sides to isolate c.c=−35−25c=−60
