You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming the equation is |n - 3| = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "|n - 3| = 5
\n" ); document.write( "n - 3 = 5 or n - 3 = -5
\n" ); document.write( "n - 3+3 = 5+3 or n - 3+3 = -5+3
\n" ); document.write( "n = 8 or n = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if |n - 3| = 5, then n = 8 or n = -2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
