You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=unknown number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What you want to solve is $\"abs%28x%29=7\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Break up the absolute value to get \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-7\"$ or $\"x=7\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: if $\"abs%28x%29=a\"$ , then $\"x=-a\"$ or $\"x=a\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solutions are $\"x=-7\"$ or $\"x=7\"$ which means that the absolute value of -7 or 7 is 7.

\n" );
