@ This problem requires you to think first; there are no values of x that can have the absolute value applied to it and the value be negative.
a. 1
b. 2
c. -16
d. None of the above Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the absolute value of any number is always positive, this means that the absolute value of is never negative. So this means that is never true for any x value. So the answer is d) None of the above
Note: the true answer should be "There are no solutions" but it is not listed as one of the choices.
