Choose the two equations you would use to solve the absolute value equation below. then solve the two equations.
|x + 5| = 55
a. x + 5 = 55 and x + 5 = -55; {50, -60}
b. x + 5 = 55 and x + 5 = -55; {-50, -60}
c. x - 5 = 55 and x + 5 = -55; {60, -60}
d. x - 5 = 55 and x + 5 = -55; {-60, -60}

You will find the value of x that would equal to 55 or -55. Nevertheless, the final answer would still be positive. But the x can have two possible values. To solve this, you would use these equations:

x + 5 = 55 and x + 5 = -55

x + 5 = 55
x = 55 - 5 = 50

and

x + 5 = -55
x = -55 - 5 = -60

Thus the answer is A.) A. x + 5 = 55 and x + 5 = -55; {50, -60}
