Answer :
Step by Step Explanation :
1. 6x - 30 - 4x = 12x - 15
2. 2x - 30 = 12x - 15
3. -10x - 30 = -15
4. -10x = 15
5. x = -10/15
6. x = -2/3 (simplified)
The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
