Your friend says that the absolute value equation | 3x+8 |-9=-5 has no solution because the constant on the right side of the equation is negative. Is your friend correct? Explain

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

Add both sides by 9.

When we want to tell if the absolute equation has solutions or not, we have to simplify in this form first: or isolate the absolute sign.

If c ≥ 0, the equation has solutions.

If c < 0, the equation does not have solutions.

Therefore, it does not always matter if the constant on right side is in negative because if there is a number on the left side then there is a chance that the equation has solutions.

From |3x+8| = 4 is equivalent |3x+8|-9=-5 and the right side is 4 which is positive.

Hence, the equation does have a solution!

it would more likely be bald eagle because its has more in the box so about 75%.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
