    1. The equation |-x - 4| = 8 will have two solutions. (True)

    5. The equation |0.5x - 0.75| + 4.6 = 0.25 will have no solutions. (True)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. The equation |-x - 4| = 8 will have two solutions. (True)

    |-x - 4| = 8

    -x - 4 = ±8

    -x - 4 = 8 and - x - 4 = - 8

    -x = 8 + 4 and - x = - 8 + 4

    -x = 12 and - x = - 4

    x = - 12 and x = 4

    Therefore, it has two solutions x ∈ {-12, 4}

    2. The equation 3.4|0.5x - 42.1| = - 20.6 will have one solution. (False)

    Since the right side of the equation has a negative value therefore, according to rules of absolute value equations, it has no solution.

    3. The equation |1/2x - 3/4| = 0 will have no solutions. (False)

    | (1/2) x - 3/4| = 0

    (1/2) x - 3/4 = ±0

    Since ±0 is the same

    (1/2) x = 3/4

    x = 2*3/4

    x = 3/2

    Therefore, it has one solution x = 3/2

    4. The equation |2x - 10| = - 20 will have two solutions. (False)

    Since the right side of the equation has a negative value therefore, according to rules of absolute value equations, it has no solution.

    5. The equation |0.5x - 0.75| + 4.6 = 0.25 will have no solutions. (True)

    |0.5x - 0.75| + 4.6 = 0.25

    |0.5x - 0.75| = 0.25 - 4.6

    |0.5x - 0.75| = - 4.35

    Since the right side of the equation has a negative value therefore, according to rules of absolute value equations, it has no solution.

    6. The equation | (1/8) x - 1| = 5 will have infinitely many solutions. (False)

    | (1/8) x - 1| = 5

    (1/8) x - 1 = ±5

    (1/8) x - 1 = 5 and (1/8) x - 1 = - 5

    (1/8) x = 5 + 1 and (1/8) x = - 5 + 1

    (1/8) x = 6 and (1/8) x = - 4

    x = 6*8 and x = - 4*8

    x = 48 and x = - 32

    Therefore, it has two solutions x ∈ {48, - 32}
