Question
Johan found that the equation -2vert 8-xvert -6=-12 had two possible solutions: x=5 and x=-11 Which explains whether his solutions are correct? He is correct because both solutions satisfy the equation. He is not correct because he made a sign error. He is not correct because there are no solutions. He is not correct because there is only one solution: x=5.

To determine whether Johan's solutions are correct, we need to substitute each solution into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.Let's start with the first solution,
:
The equation is satisfied, so
is a correct solution.Now let's substitute the second solution,
:
The equation is not satisfied, so
is not a correct solution.Therefore, Johan is not correct because there is only one solution:
