help?(:

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

any choices?

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

I looked up the answer on mathway and it said x=2+i & x=2-i

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm what's "i"?

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

i is an imaginary number I believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no solution

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

how? :/

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ditto

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

keep in mind that, an absolute value of anything |anything| = "some positive number" thus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolute value cannot be negative

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

oh

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|-25| = 25 |-126464867646468686| = 126464867646468686 | +1000000000| = 1000000000 and so on

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

anyhow, the "i" stands for an "imaginary" value, thus non-existent

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

so there's no solution since there's a -4x?
