To solve the equation |8t| = 72, we can split it into two separate equations:
1) 8t = 72
2) 8t = -72
For equation 1, we can solve for t by dividing both sides by 8:
t = 9
For equation 2, we can also solve for t by dividing both sides by 8:
t = -9
So the two solutions to the equation are t = 9 and t = -9.
To graph the equation, we can plot these two solutions on a number line:
<--------------------------x---------0----->
-9 9
So the graph would have two points labeled -9 and 9 on the number line.

x+1=12
Solve the equation for x. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
To solve the equation x + 1 = 12, we can isolate x by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:
x + 1 - 1 = 12 - 1
This simplifies to:
x = 11
To graph the equation, we can plot the solution x = 11 on a number line:
<------------------x--------------->
11
So the graph would have a point labeled 11 on the number line.
To check the solution, we substitute x = 11 back into the original equation:
11 + 1 = 12
This is true, so the solution x = 11 is correct.
x + 1 - 1 = 12 - 1
This simplifies to:
x = 11
To graph the equation, we can plot the solution x = 11 on a number line:
