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 Equation 2
|5x − 6| = −41
|7x + 13| = 27

I got x= 7 and x = 9.4 for the fist one and x = 2 and x = 5.714 for the second one. The answer I put was B but that was wrong.

A) Equation 1 has more solutions than equation 2.
B) Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of solutions.
C) Equation 2 has more solutions than Equation 1.
D) The number of solutions cannot be determined
