Question

I have a list of four equations. I need to find which one has no solution. They are :
-4|x|=20
-3|x|=-15
3|x|=0
4|x|=4

Answer 1

|x| = (something)
becomes
x = (something) and x = - (something)

Answer 2

C because anything divided into 0 is incomplete

Answer 3

Right.

Answer 4

oh right
it's not c

Answer 5

an absolute value cannot equal a negative number

Answer 6

good

Answer 7

while for C, 0 divided by a number still equals 0 which is real

Answer 8

Okay. I'm confused.

Answer 9

@iGreen. @Holly00d1248 keeps giving answers.

Answer 10

[s]hi[/s]

Answer 11

sorry, I probably phrased that weird
I was saying that the answer is NOT C
because a 0 divided by a number still equals 0 which is an actual number

Answer 12

No IM not giving anwsers im explaining

Answer 13

Oh. Okay.

Answer 14

you answer will be the one where |x| = negative number
because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number

Answer 15

Okay. That makes sense. Thank you.

Answer 16

Explain without giving answers.

Answer 17

take a guess when you think you're right @Dlwillis and I'll help to confirm :)

Answer 18

Okay. Well it'd have to be -4|x|=20. right? because once you divide 20 by -4 you get -5 which would be your answer. right?

Answer 19

-4|x| = 20 is correct :)

Answer 20

Thank you. :)

Answer 21

I appreciate you working the problem with me. If that makes sense.

Answer 22

Go @sleepyhead314

Answer 23

of course ^_^ I'm glad I could help :D

Answer 24

what about A?

Answer 25

A is the correct Answer.

Answer 26

\[\left| x \right| ~is~always~positive.\]
when \[\left| x \right|~multiplied ~by~-3~the~quantity~should~be~negative.\]

Answer 27

What do you mean?

Answer 28

\[-3\left| x \right|=negative~number.\]

Answer 29

Oh. Okay. Yeah.

Answer 30

-4|x|=20
|x|=-5
-3|x|=-15
|x|=5
The first one has a negative answer where the second one doesn't.
