\n" ); document.write( "Write an absolute value equation that has 5 and 15 as its solution.
\n" ); document.write( "what I've tried:
\n" ); document.write( "-5|x+2|=15
\n" ); document.write( "and it was a \"no solution\"
\n" ); document.write( "all my equations that I try come out with a \"no solution\" meaning that the absolute value was a negative number
\n" ); document.write( "

All day, an equation such as that will not have any solutions since an absolute expression can NEVER be < 0
\n" );
document.write( "Work backwards: You want the right side to be 5 or 15, so you can envision having 5 on the right side, which will become 15, or 5, 
\n" );
document.write( "when - 10 is on the left-side, and which is: 
\n" );
document.write( "This should give you values of x = 5, and x = 15. Try it!! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
