\r\n" );
document.write( "|3x-4| = 8\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "What's between the absolute value bars can be either +8 or -8,\r\n" );
document.write( "so we make two equations to cover both cases:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3x-4 = 8    OR    3x-4 = -8\r\n" );
document.write( "  3x = 12           3x = -4\r\n" );
