|d + 2/3| + 3/4 = 0

\[\Large \left|d + \frac23\right|+\frac34=0\]

This brings up something interesting... what happens when you subtract \(\large \frac34\) from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure...sorry I'm horrible with math

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You know, like, say a + b = c you can subtract b from both sides giving you a + b - b = c - b a = c - b That kind of stuff.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well do the same to your equation, then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be |d| + 1= 0 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it's a no solution right

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

How did you get |d| + 1 = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 - 2/3 = 1

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's not true... and anyway, you're not allowed to just bring numbers out of absolute value bars. Just keep them as is, and subtract 3/4 from both sides.

Its a no solution
