Question

Solve for x: −4|x + 5| = −16

x = 21 over 4, x = −11 over 4

x = −1, x = 9

x = −1, x = −9

No solution
whats this awnser?

Answer 1

\((\bf -4|x + 5| = -16\implies |x + 5| =\cfrac{-16}{-4}\implies |x + 5| =4\\ \quad \\
|x + 5| =4\implies
\begin{cases}
+(x + 5) =4\\ \quad \\
\bf -(x + 5) =4
\end{cases}\)


so you'd get 2 values for "x", one for each scenario
