Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
We can think of an absolute value as the magnitude of the number. We can also define it as how far the number is from 0 on the number line. Thus, absolute value must always be positive (or 0).
<h3>Solve</h3>
Start by adding 1 to both sides:
Multiply both sides by 2:
The absolute value of a number is always positive (with the exception of 0), therefore there is no solution.
<h3>Additional Comments</h3>Notice we can only add/multiply (or subtract/divide) an equation because of the Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division Property of Equality which state that if you add/subtract/multiply/divide one side of the equation by a certain value, you must do the same to the other side of the equation.
