Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation $| 5x + 9 | + 8 = 3$ cannot have a solution because the absolute value expression $| 5x + 9 |$ is always non-negative, making the left side of the equation at least 8, which cannot equal 3.

Solve - ∣5x+9∣+8=3| 5 x + 9 | + 8 = 3∣5x+9∣+8=3

Solve
- $| 5 x + 9 | + 8 = 3$
