k

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can help you get the solution :)

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

12|x| +24 = -12 @doulikepiecauseidont & @AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you trying to solve for x or graph it?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

i got |x| = -2 but not sure =0 solving for x @doulikepiecauseidont

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

if you have something like \(\large\color{black}{ |x| <0 }\) then there is no solution

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, \(\large\color{black}{ |x| =-0.1 }\) has no solution.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yes because iy is the absolute value ans the absolute value cannot be negative

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and in your case, although you get not \(\large\color{black}{ |x| =-2 }\) , but something else, there is still no solution

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ 12|x| +24 = -12 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ 12|x| +24 \color{red}{-24}= -12\color{red}{-24} }\) (subtracted 24 from both sides) \(\large\color{black}{ 12|x| = -36 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ |x| = -3 }\) (divided both sides by 12)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So your answer is?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

its not |x| < 0 its 12|x| +24 = -12 @SolomonZelman @Nnesha i got 12|x|= -36 which simplifies to |x| = -3 am i right?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

no solution :D @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, no solution

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right bec there is negative sign :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And there is no negative radii, except with polar coordinates, etc. -_-

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

thanks guys :) @AlexandervonHumboldt2 @SolomonZelman @Nnesha @doulikepiecauseidont

Nnesha (nnesha):
