Answer:

The number of solutions of |4x+12|=0 is:

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 12| = 0

We know it is the same as 4x + 12 = 0

4x +12 =0

⇒ 4x = 0 - 12

⇒ 4x = -12

dividing by 4 on both sides

⇒ x = -12/4

⇒ x= -3

Hence, The number of solutions of |4x+12|=0 is:

Hi Abby

I am glad to help you

|4x + 12| = 0
We know it is the same with 4x + 12 = 0
4x +12 =0
4x = 0 - 12
4x = -12
x = -12/4
x= -3

One Solution

I hope that's help !

I know that real numbers consist of the natural or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational nu

The imaginary unit $i$ belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by $\mathbb C$ . These numbers take the form $a+bi$ , where $a,b$ are any real numbers.

The set of real numbers, $\mathbb R$ , is a subset of $\mathbb C$ , where each number in $\mathbb R$ can be obtained by taking $b=0$ and letting $a$ be any real number.

But any number in $\mathbb C$ with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes $i$ .

"is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"

I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because $2=2+0i$ .

There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising $i$ to the $i$ -th power. Since $i=e^{i\pi/2}$ , we have
