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.
no, bescause -9 is outside of the absolute value symbols. So whatever is in the absolut value symbols will equal 4 or -4(absolute value symbols making it 4) then -9 will make it -5.
