You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Is this the problem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+abs%28+5+-+2a+%29+-+7+=+6+\" ? If it is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"+abs%28+5+-+2a+%29+=+13+\"
\n" ); document.write( "What is inside the absolute value sign can
\n" ); document.write( "be either \"+13+\" or \"+-13+\", so
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5+-+2a+=+13+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a+=+5+-+13+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a+=+-8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+-4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "also
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5+-+2a+=+-13+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a+=+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can graph the 2 points\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
