Answer:

She is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Misha found that the equation - |2x-10|-1=2  had two possible solution x=3.5 and x =-6.5.

To find : Explains whether or not her solutions are correct.

Solution :

The first thing we solve the equation to get solution,

- |2x-10|-1=2

Add 1 on both side of equation :

 - |2x-10|-1+1=2+1

 - |2x-10|=3

Multiply both sides of the equation by -1:

 - |2x-10|(-1)=3(-1)

 |2x-10|=-3

We observe that the result of the expression in absolute value is -3.

The result of an absolute value function is always greater than or equal to zero.

Which implies , the equation has no solution.

Therefore, Misha solutions were incorrect.

<span>-|2x-10|-1=2 has NO solutions, because the absolute value function is never negative.  Can be 0, can be positive, but can NOT be negative.

25-3x-2-4x+5 has how many coefficients and how many expressions
adoni [48]

Answer:

This expression has 2 coefficients, (-3 and -4), because any number with a variable is a coefficient. That means 25, -2, and 5 are all constants, because they don't have variables.

Variables are the x's in this case.

I hope this answers your question :) Also if you like, can you mark me brainliest, please? It would really mean a lot to me :)
