You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+abs%28+-10+%2B+4+%29+
Do the operation inside the absolute signs
+abs%28+-6+%29+=+6+
----------------------
The problem that was solved was:
+abs%28+-10+%29+%2B+abs%28+4+%29+=+10+%2B+4+
not the problem given
-------------------------------------------
+-3%2A%28+2x+%2B+5+%29+=+-6x+-+15+
-----------------------------------
The problem that was solved is:
+-3%2A%282x+%29+%2B+5+=+-6x+%2B+5+
----------------
Hope this makes sense
