Question

for nitrogen to be a liquid, its temperature must be within 12.78 °f of -333.22 °f. which equation can be used to find the maximum and minimum temperatures at which nitrogen is a liquid, x? the equation that can be used to find the maximum and minimum temperatures is |x + | = .

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the absolute - value equation for distance

The general form of an absolute - value equation for the distance between a variable \(x\) and a number \(a\) is \(|x - a|=d\), where \(d\) is the distance. Here, \(x\) is the temperature of nitrogen, \(a=- 333.22\) (the reference temperature), and \(d = 12.78\). We can rewrite \(|x-(-333.22)|=12.78\) as \(|x + 333.22|=12.78\).

Answer:

\(|x + 333.22|=12.78\)
