Macie Mcmillan · Answer 1

That would be C.

Because absolute values cannot equal negative numbers. So if u have an absolute value ... doesn't matter what numbers are in it, it cannot equal a negative number. Now if that - 8, in problem C was a positive 8, then it would have 2 solutions.

Dallas Armstrong · Answer 2

C) |5 - 3x| = - 8

C) Has no solution because the modulus would not result in a negative number = - 8.

The modulus is always positive.
