Question 1177754: Write the absolute value equations in the form |x - b| = c that have the following solution sets.
a) One Solution: x = -3.
b) One Solution: x = -4.1 Answer by ikleyn(52835) (Show Source):
(a) The equation is |x - (-3)| = 0,
or equivalently | x + 3 | = 0.
b = -3; c = 0.
(b) The equation is |x - (-4.1)| = 0,
or equivalently | x + 4.1 | = 0.
b = -4.1; c = 0.
