\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-3%2Aabs%28y-3%29=9\" Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%28y-3%29=-3\" Divide both sides by -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the expression \"abs%28y-3%29=-3\" is never true (note: remember, the absolute value of any number is always positive), there are no solutions to \"abs%28y-3%29=-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, notice if we graph \"y=-3%2Aabs%28x-3%29\" and \"y=9\"(just set each side equal to y and graph), we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28500%2C500%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-3%2Aabs%28x-3%29%2C9%29\" Graph of \"y=-3%2Aabs%28x-3%29\" (red) and \"y=9\"(green)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and we can see that the two graphs never intersect. So there are no solutions.
