When can't you solve an absolute value problem?

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

maybe in a situation where the absolute value is equal to a negative number, e.g. |x| = -7, what x-value actually gets you a negative absolute value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What if there's a number in front of the absolute value sign. for an example -2|1000/6567x+4000| =2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You see that LHS = -1 fi you divide through out by -2 absolute value cannot be negetive hence no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LHS?

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

left-hand side [of the equation]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Else genrally |ax+b|=c ax+b=+c or -c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay one more problem -2|1111/2344x - 30111/10000(345-17/3 x)| = 2
