Answer:

<h2>For c = 5 → two solutions</h2><h2>For c = -10 → no solutions</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

|a|\geq0

for any real value of <em>a</em>.

|a| = b > 0 -  <em>two solutions: </em>a = b or a = -b

|a| = 0 - <em>one solution: a = 0</em>

|a| = b < 0 - <em>no solution</em>

<em />

|x + 6| - 4 = c

for c = 5:

|x + 6| - 4 = 5           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = 9 > 0   <em>TWO SOLUTIONS</em>

for c = -10

|x + 6| - 4 = -10           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = -6 < 0   <em>NO SOLUTIONS</em>

<em></em>

Calculate the solutions for c = 5:

|x + 6| = 9 ⇔ x + 6 = 9 or x + 6 = -9         <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

x = 3 or x = -15

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The equation has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

If we re arrange the equation a little more we will obtain the following

|x|=-11

Which is a contradiction since, the  |x| is always a positive number

Attached is the representation of this function y= |x|

It means, that it doesnt matter what value 'x' has, the answer is the same number but, positive
