If |x-3| > 10, which of the following could be the value of |x|?

Correct answer: D. 8

  • A. 2
  • B. 4
  • C. 6
  • D. 8

Explanation

Test each of the answer choices, making sure to include the negative possibilities. For example, the answer is not (A) because when x=2 or −2,∣x−3∣ is not greater than 10 . However, ∣x−3∣ is greater than 10 when x=−8.
