im not sure about the first one because its a negative...is there an option such as not possible?

anonymous · Answer

noo

anonymous · Answer

hmmm...well for the second one is it really saying the absolute value of r+3=6
so what number(s) make that true?

anonymous · Answer

3

anonymous · Answer

yupp...since it is an absolute value though what is the negative solution? what negative number plus 3 makes -6(since it is an absolute value equation if it is a -6, then it will be a 6)
