Please help me solve this problem:
Solve |x + 3| + 10 = 4.

|x+3| = -6
No solution because absolute value cannot be negative.

Also, i solved this problem Solve 3x + 6 = 3 (x – 5), i got no solution is that correct...my steps:
1.Distribute the 3
3x+6 + 3x-15
Subtract 3x from both sides
6 = -15
Contradiction
Conclusion: No solution
