Solve the absolute value equation if possible. if there is no solution explain why 5x + 10= -7

x =  −17 /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x + 10 = −7

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides.

5x + 10 − 10 = −7 − 10

5x = −17

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5x  ÷ 5  =  −17  ÷ 5

x =  −17 /5

There is no solution because absolute value cannot be negative.

256π units²   (answer b)

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the surface area of a sphere of radius r

is             a = 4πr²

and so, if r = 8 units, then the surface area is:

a = 4π(8 units)² = 256π units²   (answer b)
