solution for [x+2]=-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = -7

OpenStudy (a_clan):

is it greatest integer function [ ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is?

OpenStudy (a_clan):

solution should be a range of values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if so then answer would be an interval, namely \[[-7,-6)\] yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A_clan do you know it is greatest integer, or are you assuming it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am looking to find the absolute numbers

OpenStudy (a_clan):

it is the symbol for greatest integer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean absolute value? you cannot solve this because the absolute value of any number is positive, so it cannot be -5

OpenStudy (a_clan):

if absolute then solution is empty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what A-clan said. if you are trying to solve \[|x+2|=-5\] then no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is why i am having trouble with this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so no solution is right then

OpenStudy (a_clan):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank yall
