    Solution of \[2x-1=\left| x+7 \right|\] is

    A) -2

    B) 8

    C) -2, 8     

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[2x-1=\left| x+7 \right|=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    x+7,\,\,\,\,\,if\,\,x\ge -7  \\    -(x+7),\,\,if\,\,x<-7  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] \[\therefore \,\,\,If\,\,\,x\ge -7,2x-1=x+7\Rightarrow x=8\] If \[x<-7,2x-1=-(x+7)\] \[\Rightarrow 3x=-6\Rightarrow x=-2,\] which is not possible.
