How many solutions does the equation |3x + 7| = –4 have?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when does 3x+7 = 0?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol ... didnt see the negative when is an absolute value ever negative?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

absolute values can be used to measure a distance between two things; can the distance between two things ever be less than 0?

OpenStudy (genny7):

so then i wouldn't be able to solve it because it has a negative?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you wouldnt be able to have any 'real' number solutions, correct.

Thanks very much! :)
