Question

Two equations are listed below. Solve each equation and compare the solutions. Choose the statement that is true about both solutions.

Equation 1 Equation 2
|5x − 6| = −41 |7x + 13| = 27

Answer 1

|5x − 6| = −41 it has no solutions because module ( abs value) cannot be negative

|7x + 13| = 27 -(7x+13)=27
7x+13=27 -7x-13=27
7x=14 -7x=40
x=2 x=-40/7

check: |7*(-40/7) + 13| = 27 , |-40 + 13| = 27, |-27| = 27 correct

There are no statements, so I cannot choose the correct one
