1. solve the absolute value equation, if possible. if there is no solution, explain why. | 5x + 10| = -7

Rule of thumb: ANY absolute value is positive.

I 5x + 10I = -7

5x + 10 = -7                -Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

5x + 10 - 10 = -7 - 10

5x = -17         -Divide both sides by 5.

5x / 5 = -17 / 5

x = -3.4

Hope this helps! Have a happy thanksgiving, here's a turkey!

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
