absolute-value/668572: -5 I 6a + 2 I = -15 I = absolute valu sign I was taught to drop the absolute value sign, set up two equations--one = to -15 and one = to 15 and then solve for a. So for this problem, I wasn't sure if I should drop the absolute value sign and then it would be -5 x 6a + 2 = -15 and -5 x 6a + 2 = 15 OR if I should first distribute the -5 as if the absolute value signs were parentheses. Thanks so much for your help. 1 solutions Answer 415680 by Alan3354(30955)   on 2012-10-18 17:23:47 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! -5 I 6a + 2 I = -15 I = absolute valu sign --------------- -5|6a + 2| = -15 |6a + 2| = 3 ---- 6a+2 = 3 6a = 1 a = 1/6 ------- 6a+2 = -3 6a = -5 a = -5/6
