Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1) b

2) c

Step-by-step 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!
