QuestionSolve the absolute value equation: 4y+6+6=1|-4y + 6| + 6 = 1. Provide the answer as a reduced fraction if necessary.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is given as 4y+6+6=1|-4y+6|+6=1 . We need to solve for yy
3. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, which is always positive or zero.

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate the absolute value term. We can do this by subtracting6 from both sides of the equation.
4y+6+66=16|-4y+6|+6-6=1-6

STEP 3

implify the equation.
y+6=5|-y+6|=-5

STEP 4

An absolute value can never be negative, so there are no solutions to the equation 4y+6=|-4y+6|=-. The equation is inconsistent, and therefore, has no solution.
