Firstly, simplify the equation by dividing 8 on both sides.
|6 - x|=1
Now, we have two cases:
i) 6-x=1
When we solve it, we get x = 5.
ii) 6-x=-1
When we solve it, we get x = 7.
Therefore, the solution set is {5, 7}. Hence, the answer is D.

Solve the Equation −-− 8 X | = 8 A) X = 5 B)

Solve the Equation $-$ 8 X | = 8
A) X = 5
B)
