This is a problem we had on an algebra test 2y-3=absolute value of -15 pretty sure the answer is nine, but my math teacher says 9,-6
-------------------
The absolute value of -15 is +15, so the answer would be 9.
-----------------------
If the problem states the AV of (2y-3) = -15, then both 9 and -6 would fit. Check the statement of the problem again.
