Answer 2

How would we move that -5 over?

Answer 3

its confusing

Answer 4

On the left side, we're multiplying by -5, so how do we undo this?

Answer 5

-5|x+1|=-15
=|x+1|=-15/-5
=x+1=3
=x=3-1=2
So, by putting the value of x in the equation as
|x+1|=-15
=|2+1|=-15=>
3 is nt equal to -15. so, the answer is false.

Answer 6

no, sorry the answer is true becoz by solving the eq. i gt |x+1|=3.
