Answer:

-5 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

| 3-x | = 8

absolute sign has two value. POSITIVE and NEGATIVE value

POSITIVE

3-x = 8

x = 3-8 = -5

NEGATIVE

-(3-x) = 8

-3 + x = 8

x = 8+3 = 11

Answer:

x =-5                           x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

|3-x| = 8

We get 2 solutions to an absolute value, one positive and one negative

3-x =8      3-x = -8

Subtract 3 from each side

3-x-3 = 8-3           3-x-3=-8-3

-x =5                      -x = -11

Multiply by -1

x =-5                           x = 11
