Question

Solve for x: −5|x + 1| = 10

Answer 1

-5(x+1) < 10 OR -5(x+1) > -10
-5x-5 < 10 -5x-5> -10
-5x < 15 -5x > -5
x < -3 x > 1

Answer 2

it's wrong cause this sentence \[\left| x+1 \right|\] must be negative which is impossible

Answer 3

Which one? my answer?

Answer 4

both of them the question is wrong so don't have any answer

Answer 5

the sentece that i've mentioned before always could be positive or zero

Answer 6

-5(x+1) = 10 OR -5(-x-1) = 10
-5x-5 = 10 5x+5 = 10
-5x = 15 5x = 5
x = -3 x = 1

Answer 7

hey it's not (x+1)
it's \[ \left| x+1 \right|\]

Answer 8

I know , I changed x+1 and -x-1

Answer 9

no .you can't

Answer 10

tell me how an absolte value could be negative?

Answer 11

That's how to solve the inequalities
it could be negative or positive

Answer 12

after you get absolute value from a valuse or sentence the out value is always positive

Answer 13

\[\left| -2 \right|=2\]
\[\left| 0 \right|=0\]
\[\left| 2 \right|=2\]

Answer 14
