Answer:

The equation has no solutions

Explanation:

If we re arrange the equation a little more we will obtain the following

|x|=-11

Which is a contradiction since, the |x| is always a positive number

Attached is the representation of this function y= |x|

It means, that it doesnt matter what value 'x' has, the answer is the same number but, positive

Which value is in the solution set of |x|+9=-2 A) x= 11 B) x= -11 C) the equation-example-1
