How many solutions are there for the equation? |X − 4| = 9 A- One Solution B- Two Solutions C- No Solution

KrazyKenzie:

i think a two lol also hey other kenzie

ramen:

Ok so for this type of function, the parent function |x| would just look like a v with the vertex of the V on (0,0) and the 2 arms extending upwards like a V. To simplify this equation, we would have to bring the 9 on the right side to the left side by subtracting it making the equation |x-4|-9. The only part that matters here is the -9 because that means that the function gets moved down -9 units. If something has 2 solutions, that means that the function crosses the X axis twice, so do you think that the arms on the function would now cross the x axis twice, once, or no times now that it got moved down -9 units?

kenzie126:

i dont understand any of that

KrazyKenzie:

lol me either lol

KrazyKenzie:

just try my answer lol is this a test?

ramen:

I will draw.

KrazyKenzie:
