Question

Solve for x: −4|x + 5| = −16

x = 21 over 4, x = −11 over 4
x = −1, x = 9
x = −1, x = −9
No solution

Answer 1

ok

Answer 2

U know absolute functions??

Answer 3

if yes what are the possible values of |x+5|

Answer 4

English??

Answer 5

yeah sorry lol i was looking at the question again

Answer 6

not sure.. im really confused

Answer 7

|x|=??

Answer 8

think in terms of >0 and <0

Answer 9

i really dont get it :( im sorry :(

Answer 10

ok, you can use this
when \(|x| = y \)
then \(\Large x= y \\ \Large or ~ x = -y\)

Answer 11

when |x+5| = 4
what can u say ?

Answer 12

x= -4 ?

Answer 13

i mean

|x+5| = 4
gives

x+5 = 4
OR
x+5 =-4

Answer 14

so then x+5= -4. ?

Answer 15

you'll get 2 values of x

one from
x+5 = 4

and one from
x+5 =-4

Answer 16

so,
x+5 =4

subtract 5 from both sides,
what i get ?

Answer 17

what you get** ? :P

Answer 18

1 and 0

Answer 19

yep

Answer 20

you mean -1 ?
because
4-5 =-1

Answer 21

u shud know basic

Answer 22

how do even get 0 and 1??

Answer 23

pls show ur calculations

Answer 24

x+5-5 = 4-5

0 for 5-5 correct
and 1 for 4-5
incorrect

Answer 25

4-5 = -1

so
you get
x = -1
makes sense ?

Answer 26

listen @cambrige i suck at math i get it. @hartnn yeah that makes more sense

Answer 27

hartnn NO ZERO -9

Answer 28

relax :3

now for

x+5 = -4
again subtract 5 from both sides,
what u get ?

Answer 29

okay my bad...

Answer 30

okay x+5 =-4
-5 -5
0 1< positive 1

Answer 31

-4-5=??

Answer 32

0 correct again

\(\Large -4-5 = - (4+5) = ... ?\)

Answer 33

it is not 5-4 dear

Answer 34

again it will be a lot easier if u just show us ur calculations

Answer 35

ohhh wait okay so x+5 = -4 - 5 so negative four and the difference of positive 5?

Answer 36

no that mean negative four + negative 5

Answer 37

WHAT UR SAYING IS THIS -4-(-5)

Answer 38

which will give u 1

Answer 39

+ negative 5 is same as difference of 5
