Solve for x: −5|x + 1| = 10
x = 0
x = −3 and x = 1 (I chose )
x = −1 and x = 3
No solution

Divide both sides by -5. Solve Absolute Value.
OpenStudy (alivejeremy):
Answer is No solution

Maybe your wrong
OpenStudy (alivejeremy):
Nope. I'm 100% sure.
OpenStudy (alivejeremy):
No solutions.
OpenStudy (alivejeremy):
How did you get = −3 and x = 1?
OpenStudy (otherworldly):
yeah I'm not sure i think i remember a rule like if its I x + 1 I = -2 then its no solution

An absolute value cannot equal to a negative.
If you divide both sides by -5, you have an absolute value equal to a negative.
OpenStudy (otherworldly):
When the absolute value part of an equation is equal to a positive number, you will have two solutions.
When the absolute value part of an equation is equal to zero, you will have one solution.
When the absolute value part of an equation is equal to a negative number, there is no solution.
