Question

How many solutions does the following equations have |6x+12|= 12 |6x+12|= -1 |6x+12|= 0 show steps to sloving. How do you know the number or solutions?

Answer 1

Answer:

|6x+12|= 12 has 2 solutions --> x = -4 or x = 0

|6x+12|= -1 has No solutions

∣6x+12∣=0 has 1 solution --> x = -2

Explanation:

|6x+12|= 12

- Break |6x+12| = 12 down into two equations -

                                ↓

                       6x + 12 = 12

                       6x + 12 = −12

          - Solve both equations to x -

                       6x + 12 = 12

                       6x + 12 = −12

                                ↓

                            6x = 0

                           6x = −24

                                ↓

                             x = 0

                             x = −4

|6x+12|= -1

The absolute value function is always positive or 0 so false.

∣6x+12∣=0

- Because its 0, we simply just solve the equation -

                              6x + 12 = 0

                                     ↓

                                6x = -12

                                     ↓

                                  x = -2
