X is a real number

|x-2|-|x+8|

How many possible integers can the answer be?

(hello, please also explain why you solved it the way you did, thanks!)

Infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

You can plug any integer value in, and the answer will still be valid, and there are infinitely many integers.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
