You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We need to split this absolute value problem into two separate equations...we do it like this
\n" ); document.write( "| x - 6 | = 10
\n" ); document.write( "becomes
\n" ); document.write( "x - 6 = 10 (just like the original)
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x - 6 = -10
\n" ); document.write( "which gives us two solutions
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16 and x = -4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
