The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day can be modeled by the equation 2[x-6]+14=38 What are the min and max temperatures for this day?

Here are the steps to calculating the given equation:

Distribute 2 to x and 6: 2x-12+14=38
Group like terms: 2x+(-12+14)=38
Combine like terms: 2x+2=38
Subtract number on 'x' side: 2x+2-2=38-2
Simplify: 2x=36
Divide: 2x/2=36/2
Simplify: x=18
Label with correct terms: 
I cannot do this because you did not provide sufficient information, I would need to know what the difference between the two, or if 'x' stood for one particular temperature. Hope that helped enough with what you provided.

assuming the brackets are absolute values, the max would be 18 and the min you be -6

there are always two solutions when it comes to absolute value if it begins with something higher than zero

x = 18

x = -6
