Algebra equation

Question

-|4-8b|=12 absolute value

Answer 1

You might want to double check your equation, this equation has no solution

-|4-8b|=12

|4-8b|=-12

you can pick any value for b, |4-8b| will always be positive, so a positive number will never be equal to -12, so this equation has no solution

Answer 2

there is no solution because the absolute value of 4-8b is positive no matter what 4-8b is, positive or negative

there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value symbol so the left side is always negative and the right side is positive, thus no solution
