For an equation where an isolated absolute value equals a negative, there will be ___ solution   No  
🗑
Two absolute value expressions are equal when the absolute value expressions are ______ of each other   Equal to or opposite

🗑
If a is a ___ number, then |X|˃a is equivalent to X˂-a or X˃a as well as ≥   Positive  
🗑
If the solution set includes numbers from the left on the number line, and numbers right on the number line, but does not include numbers between the others (such that there is a gap when you draw the number lines) then use the ___ sign to connect the set   Union
