Hello,

|5x-6|=-41 has no soulution: |5x-6| is always>=0.

|7x+13|=27 has 2 solutions: 2 and -40/7

Answer C: Equation 2 has more solutions than Equation 1.
Given two expressions |5x − 6| = −41 and |7x + 13| = 27, we determine the solutions:

|5x-6|= 
−41 .Since any number enclosed in an absolute notation always results to a positive number, equation 1 has no solution. 

|7x + 13| = 27. We can consider this solution since the number on the right is positive. We can solve this by
(7x + 13) = 27
x = 2
-(7x + 13) = 27
x = 40/7. 
Hence equation 2 has more number of solutions than equation 1.
