Which equation has no solution?
|4x - 2| = - 6, |-2 - x| = 9, |3x + 6| = 6, |-2x + 8| = 0
Solution:
The absolute value of any equation can never be negative.
An absolute value of a real number is just the distance from zero to the number on the number line regardless of its direction. It returns only a positive value.
⇒ |4x - 2| = -6 has a negative value -6.
Example: Any equation with value equal to negative like
|5x - 9| = -7
|7x - 3| = -3
|3x - 6| = -5 etc will not have solutions for x.
Thus, the equation |4x - 2| = -6 has no solution.
Which equation has no solution?
|4x - 2| = - 6, |- 2 - x| = 9, |3x + 6| = 6, |- 2x + 8| = 0
Summary:
The |4x - 2| = -6 has no solution for x because |x| can not be negative.
