Chapter 2: Q27. (page 106)

Solve each equation. Then graph the solution set.

6y−7=−1

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation6y−7=−1 has empty solution set as ϕ.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1. Define absolute value equation.

For any real numbers a and b, ifa=b and b≥0, thena=b or a=−b.

02

Step-2. Observe the equation.

In the given equation, 6y−7=−1, the distance between 6yand -7is negative, that is.,role="math" localid="1642441187328" -1, which is not possible as distance can never be negative.

03

Step-3. State the conclusion.

Since, distance is a non-negative quantity therefore, no value of ywould satisfy the equation.

Hence, the solution set will be an empty set for the given equation.
