Question

Help me for a medal :D?
Compare and Contrast: Two equations are listed below. Solve each equation and compare the solutions. Choose the statement that is true about both solutions.

Equation 1
|5x − 6| = −41

Equation 2
|7x + 13| = 27

Equation 1 has more solutions than equation 2.
Equation 2 has more solutions than Equation 1.

I've done this twice, and I got it wrong so I removed the possible answers that I knew were wrong.

Answer 1

absolute value problems ...
5x -6 = -41
5x (-6+6) = -41+6
then you have 5x = a negative number and to solve with division; you will have your answer
for equation 2 use the same process:
7x +13 =27 this goes to 7x = 27-13 and with the absolute value in place and your answer positive, you will arrive at a pair of answer possible.

Hope this helps.
