Question

Two equations are listed below. Solve each equation and compare the solutions. Choose the statement that is true about both solutions.

Equation 1	Equation 2
|5x + 6| = 41	|2x + 13| = 28

anonymous · Answer

Equation 1 has more solutions than equation 2.

 Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of solutions.

 Equation 2 has more solutions than Equation 1.

 The number of solutions cannot be determined.

radar · Answer

When you solve each equation, you will come up with a single solution consisting of two values for each equation (one positive, one negative).  You are dealing with absolute equations)  I am not sure how your instruction looks at solution, like does he look at a two value solution as two or one?????
