Question 59701: I am having trouble understanding this equation: y=|x-3|+3

I am assuming that you mean that you don't know how to graph this: y=|x-3|+3
This is the method of shifting or translating.
The graph of y=|x| looks like:

The graph of y=|x-3|+3
The -3 on the inside of the absolute value shifts the graph horizontally 3 units to the right.
The +3 on the outside of the absolute value shifts the graph 3 units up.

Happy Calculating!!!
