|6x-1|+4=1 solve. A. {1/3, 2/3} B. {-1/3,-2/3} C. {-1/3, 2/3} D. No solution.

Try it out.

|6x - 1| + 4 = 1 |6x - 1| = -3 Now, can anything within absolute value ever be negative? I think not, so it's no solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FOr instance, |-1| = 1. Not -1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah @Calcmathlete is right. Move the 4 over to the other side first, and you'll se that there's no solution :)
