Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?|x| = -4
A 0
B 2
C 4
D 1

Answer 1

A 0

Explanation:

There are no solutions. Because the absolute value always returns a positive value, there are no solutions to this equation.

If x is negative, the answer will be positive. If x is positive the answer will still be positive. No value of x will give a value of -4. So there is no solution.

Answer 2

There are 0

Explanation:

Absolute value is the positive distance a number is away from 0, so no value of x will make the equation true
