How will you slove this equation? The sign are absolute value and you don't have to slove it but I want to know how will I set it up to slove it.
\n" ); document.write( " |-4x+7| = |1+6x|
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "[The wotd is \"solve\", not \"slove\".  You wrote \"slove\" three times.]\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You make two equations without absolute value bars:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  For the first equation you just drop them and solve.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "  -4x+7 = 1+6x\r\n" );
document.write( "   -10x = -6\r\n" );
document.write( "      x = \r\n" );
document.write( "      x = \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  For the second equation you multiply the right side by -1, then solve.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "  -4x+7 = -1(1+6x)\r\n" );
document.write( "  -4x+7 = -1-6x \r\n" );
document.write( "     2x = -8\r\n" );
document.write( "      x = \r\n" );
document.write( "      x = \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So there are two solutions,  and .\r\n" );
