Question

|a+5|=−a−5, and can you solve |a+5|=a+5 please?

Answer 1

Answer:

a1= -19, a2= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. Add 5 + 9 /a +5/ = 9+5

step 2. Use the absolute value definition, rewrite the absolute value equation as two separate equations. a+5=14 a+5= -14

step 3. a=9 a+5= -14

step 4. a= 9 a= -19 the equation has 2 solutions

a¹ = - 19, a²= 9
