Question

Please help

A) x= -4 and 4

B) x=4 and 6

C) x=2 and 8

D) no solution

Answer 1

No solutions

Explanation:

|-2x-10| + 4 = 2

Subtract 4 from each side

|-2x-10| + 4-4 = 2-4

|-2x-10| = -2

The absolute value is negative so there are no solutions.

Absolute values are always positive, so they cannot be negative.
