Question

when solving an inequality do you put the higher or lower number first in the answer? Would it be 4,-4 or -4,4?

Answer 1

I think it does not matter as long as the answers are correct.

What is the inequality that has these answers?

Answer 2

I made that up but the real problem is: |x| = −10 what is the answer
A. 10
B. -10
C. 10, -10
D. (-¥,¥)
E. No Solution

Answer 3

|x| = −10

Are you thinking that the answer to this is this --> 10, -10 ?

If so, substitute each value in for x and see what you get.

And, think about this: Can the absolute value of a number be negative?

Answer 4

Test x = 10 to see if |x| = −10.

|x| = −10
|10 | = −10 ??

The absolute value of 10 is 10.

Does 10 = -10. NO

So, 10 is NOT a solution of |x| = −10.

@mocham Is -10 a solution of |x| = −10 ?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

Correct. There is no solution.

There is no value of x that makes |x| = −10.
