thank you Answer by artsygirl(1) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am assuming that you need answers for x that make the expression equal to 0 (based on you thinking the solution is 6). There are in fact two correct solutions, since it is an absolute value. This means that x values that produce both 6 and -6 are correct. Making the solutions 6 and 0.
