Considering a car trip where the distance between two cities is given by the modular equation |x - 5| = 12. The value of x represents the total distance traveled in kilometers and the number 5 represents an intermediate city on the route. What is the minimum value and the maximum value that x can assume to represent the total distance traveled on this trip?

The minimum value that x can assume is -7 and the maximum value that x can assume is 17.

The minimum value that x can assume is -5 and the maximum value that x can assume is 12

The minimum value that x can assume is 0 and the maximum value that x can assume is 17

The minimum value that x can assume is -7 and the maximum value that x can assume is 12

The minimum value that x can assume is 5 and the maximum value that x can assume is 17.
