You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We know that what is between the \"|\"'s must equal 32. Therefore, the number inside the \"|\"'s can be either a positive or a negative (32 or -32). This generates two problems.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "|-4x|=32 AND |4x|=32
\n" ); document.write( "4x=32 AND 4x=-32\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for both!
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2F4=32%2F4\"$ AND $\"4x%2F4=-32%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8\"$ AND $\"x=-8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 8 and -8
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
