Question

Help due in 40 minutes please don’t know what to do

Answer 1

1) b

2) c

Explanation:

1)

`\mid a \mid =5`

a can be either 5 or -5, because the absolute value of those is both 5. Therefore, the correct answer for this is b.

2)

`\mid a \mid=-5`

Since the absolute value function will always return a positive value, this equation must have no solutions, or choice C. Hope this helps!
