Given:
Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
The given inequality is: |-5 + |2b - 3| + |-b + 4| < 0 .
This translates to checking if the sum of absolute values and other constants can yield a negative result.
Let's consider the expression inside the absolute values:
for all real numbers .
The absolute value of any expression is always non-negative. Therefore, and .
Adding these non-negative values to -5 will still yield a result that is greater than or equal to -5. Since -5 is not less than 0, the inequality cannot hold true for any real number .
Hence, the statement "No solution" is correct.
No solution
