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

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

No solution

OpenStudy (brooke..help00):

?

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Divide both sides by -5. Solve Absolute Value.

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Answer is No solution

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

she is correct

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Absolute value cannot be less than 0

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

I'm a guy..

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

obviously I'm talking about brooke.....

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

XD

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Oh sorry but, she's wrong.

OpenStudy (brooke..help00):

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

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

^thats an exaple not necessarily those numbers

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

by doing absolute value ..........normally

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

I'm 100% sure that i'm right.

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

I'm a genius.

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

^_^

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

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.

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Absolute value cannot be less than 0

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

those rules are from the lesson
