\n" ); document.write( "7-6|2-2n|=-65
\n" ); document.write( "I've tried this: 7-6 = 1 so 1 times the absolute value of 2-2n is equal to negative 65 then i divided the entire equation by one, then i subtracted the 2 from both sides and then divided the -2 by both sides and i wouldn't get even close to the correct answer. And yes i also did a secondary equation as this: 7-6|2-2n|=65 \n" ); document.write( "

to solve this we use the + and - to remove the absolute value, so we have the following two equations\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2-2n = -65 and -(2-2n) = -65
\n" ); document.write( "2-2n = -65
\n" ); document.write( "-2n = -67
\n" ); document.write( " n = 33.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "-2+2n = -65
\n" ); document.write( " 2n = -63
\n" ); document.write( " n = -31.5
\n" ); document.write( "so n = 33.5, -31.5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
