Question

Solve |x + 5| = -7 ....

Answer 1

Answer:

2,-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is ,

$\implies |x + 5 | = -7$

We know that modulus only gives positive value , Therefore on squaring both sides we have ,

$\implies (x + 5 )^2=( -7)^2 \\\\\implies (x+5)^2=7^2\\\\\implies x + 5 =\pm 7 \\\\\implies x = 7-5,-7-5 \\\\\implies \boxed{ x = 2, -12}$
