Question

What is the anwser

-2|7x-1|= 14

Answer 1

Answer: -3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Lucky I just learned about this last week! Multiply 7 and -1 by -2 which makes the equation -14x + 2 = 14. Subtract 2 from both sides to make -16x = 12. Then divide each side by -16 and you get -3/4 = x.

Nice helping out!

Answer 2

There are no solutions.

Explanation:

Hello!

Isolate the absolute value equation first:

• -2|7x - 1| = 14
• |7x - 1| = -7

Now stop and think.

An absolute value equation always has a positive outcome, because you are finding the positive value of what's inside. The outcome here is negative, so there is no value of x that makes it so that the absolute value is negative.

So the solution is No Solutions.
