\n" ); document.write( " $\"-12%2Aabs%289x%2B1%29=144\"$ Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%289x%2B1%29=-12\"$ Divide both sides by -12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the expression $\"abs%289x%2B1%29=-12\"$ is never true (note: remember, the absolute value of any number is always positive), there are no solutions to $\"abs%289x%2B1%29=-12\"$ \r
