Solve the absolute value and show work please and there should be 2 answers: -12 |9x + 1| = 144

Answer 1

To solve this, first divide both sides by -12 isolate the absolute value.

Answer 2

So |9x + 1| = -12

Answer 3

This is not possible
Absolute values can never be negative. are you sure you wrote the problem correctly?

yes

Answer 5

the answer could be no solution as well if it doesn't work

Answer 6

I think this one is no solution as well: |A - 3| -14 = -6

Answer 8

no this has a solution
|A - 3| = 8

Answer 9

to solve these, you think of it like A-3 = 8 or A-3 = -8

Answer 12

that's actually what we learned in class today that's funny

Answer 13

well that's probably why you have to solve inequalities. but do you understand how to solve it now?

Answer 14

Yea it confuses me a little, but I got it now
