Solve the equation |y-6|+2y=9
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "|y-6| = 9-2y
\n" ); document.write( "y-6 = 9-2y or y-6 = -(9-2y)= 2y-9
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 15 or y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5 or y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Testing:
\n" ); document.write( "Does y = 5 ?
\n" ); document.write( "|5-6| + 2*5 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "1+10 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "False; so y=5 is not a solution.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Testing:
\n" ); document.write( "Does y = 3 ?
\n" ); document.write( "|3-6| + 2*3 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "3 + 6 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "True ; so y=3 is the only solution.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
