Help, i've tried it on my own. How many solutions does the equation |3x + 7| = –4 have? A. zero B. one C. two D. infinitely many. How many solutions does the absolute value equation below have? |x – 3| = 2 A.three B.two C.one D.no solution Which values of x will make the absolute value equation true? |x – 3| = 40 A.{–43, –37} B.{43, –37} C.{40, –40} D.{43, 37} Please help?!?!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the first one can be considered a test on how well you understand the concept: is an absolute value ever negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct, so it will never have a real solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the first is A? the second is D? and the third is...??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the second is not d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is b?
