Question

what is the solution set of the equation I4a+6I-4a= -10

Answer 1

A solution set is the set of numbers that makes the statement true. the easiest way to figure this out is to start trying numbers! For example, replace the a's with the number 1...if it results in the answer of 10, it is in the set. If it is not, then it's not.

Answer 2

You can also just solve for a and see what you get. But check out those little lines on either side of the 4a + 6 part of the equation. That changes negative numbers positives.

Answer 3

Hello rzdc18. There is no solution set for this equation. Try graphing it.

Answer 4

i tried and it wouldnt work

Answer 5

Because there are no solutions. If that is not an option, maybe you typed in the question wrong.

Answer 6

thank you !

Answer 7

cowsgomoo is correct.
isolate the absolute value. then, it will either be positive or negative.
first, do positive:
4a-6=4a-10
subtract 4a from both sides
-6=-10
since this is not true, there is not solution
