Solve for x. |x| = -5

Answer 1

1st one: x=0 and x=4
2nd one: Not possible

Answer 2

2. The absolute value of a number is always positive so getting -5 is not possible

Answer 3

thanks!

Answer 4

cole you understood?

Answer 5

\[|x-2|=12-10\]
\[|x-2|=2\]
\[x-2=2 \] or \[x-2=-2\]

Answer 6

Start by subtracting 10 from each side, just like you would have done with a standard equation

Answer 7

|x-2| can be either 2 och -2 since the negative sign is just positive inside the absolute value

Answer 8

The answer is then: x= 4 and x=0

Answer 9

okay thanks for showing me

Answer 10

No problem
